Coinbase and Linux Foundation Launch x402 Open Standard for AI Agent Payments

Coinbase and the Linux Foundation launch the x402 Foundation on April 2, establishing an open protocol enabling AI agents to make autonomous stablecoin payments, with support from more than 20 companies including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.

Samsung released two new smartphone models: the Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G.

Both models will officially go on sale in the United States starting April 9, 2026.

The smartphones feature affordable pricing with the goal of allowing more ordinary users to access artificial intelligence phones.

The new phones are equipped with Samsung's latest AI features, making smartphone usage more convenient for users.

By long-pressing the screen, users can quickly extract text or select images.

The Galaxy A57 5G supports continuous shooting mode, allowing the phone to automatically select the best-looking photos.

Users can also utilize a removal tool to delete unwanted content from photos.

Samsung expressed hope that more people will be able to experience advanced artificial intelligence smartphone features.
