Samsung adds new models to its Digital Car Key support list, but not all work with UWB

While the luxury Genesis models will support both NFC and UWB connectivity, the rest only offer NFC support meaning that you will have to hold your Galaxy closer to the car in order to unlock it.
The feature is available on its home turf for now, but hopefully Samsung will roll it out for the new car models globally soon, or you can use the digital car key support built into Android 12.
New cars added to the Samsung Digital Car Key support list
For now, Samsung's Digital Car Key option is available only on the Galaxy S22 and S21 series, the oldie Note 20 Ultra, and on Samsung's foldable phones like the Z Fold 3 and the Z Flip 3. Besides Samsung, Google's Pixel 6 series are also supporting digital car keys and Google even baked BMW support in Android 12 on a system level.
