Samsung Working on a New Email App for Android

Samsung might be working on a brand-new email app for Android, and a trademark application discovered recently also provides us with a closer look at the name of this new project.

LetsGoDigital came across an official document indicating that Samsung’s new email app could be called “Email Plus,” possibly as it would be based on the existing email client but adding a series of extra options.

While specifics aren’t available right now, this project comes only a few months after Samsung’s app was flagged as insecure by Google.

A number of Samsung email app users received warnings from Google that their client, which was configured to connect to Gmail, wasn’t secure and came from an untrusted publisher.

Albeit a confirmation isn’t available, Samsung Email Plus could thus be specifically supposed to address these concerns by introducing additional security features to prevent similar blunders in the future.

Email app alternatives

But at the same time, the Email Plus moniker could be an indication that Samsung itself is also looking into other ideas for this overhauled email app, including options that would be available for premium customers, therefore a small fee might be set.

This is just pure speculation on our side at the moment, and we’re still waiting for Samsung to provide some clarification as to what this project is all about.

Meanwhile, there are several other advanced email apps in the Google Play Store, and one of the most popular is developed by Microsoft. Outlook is an email client that receives updates regularly, and at this point, it has more than 100 million downloads from the Google Play store alone, according to official data (not to count the installs made using the standalone APK file or other distribution channels).

It remains to be seen when Samsung announces Email Plus, but the closer we get to its release date, the more information should reach the web.
