Samsung phones will soon come with automatic spam call blocking.
The feature, which is part of Samsung Smart Call, will debut on the Galaxy Note20 and will roll out to all new devices released after 2020.
The chaebol has made a deal with Seattle-based caller ID startup Hiya, licensing the firm's tech for five years.
Call blocking will appear on Samsung's older devices capable of receiving the Android 11-based OneUI 2.5 software update.
To Samsung's credit, it's not exactly a white elephant.
