Leaked promotional material images are pointing out that the excellent Samsung pay service could soon land in Russia. The images also show us the pair of Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge leading to speculations that the payment service could launch in several other regions alongside the new handsets.
Samsung has announced that the Samsung pay will soon be expanding to more countries worldwide such as India, china, brazil, Australia and Singapore but stopped short of announcing the time frame.
In other news, an insider has revealed that the Samsung pay will also be coming to the UK with the Galaxy S7 that will be introduced at the unpacked event in Barcelona, Spain during the mobile world congress.
Samsung is aggressively promoting the Samsung pay and we now know for sure that this payment service is definitely winning the mobile payment war. Apple pay was the first one to popularize a financial transaction through a smartphone but Samsung pay has consistently managed to wow the user simplicity and availability.
Apple pay need special NFC terminal to make the payment but the Samsung pay works with the existing old school credit card terminals thanks to a technology called as MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission). The payment is authorized by your fingerprint and the transactions are fully secure.
The down side?
This service only works with a handful of models such as The Galaxy S6 family and the Note 5. Samsung has indicated that the upcoming mid-range and low-end smartphones will have Samsung pay integrated into them.
Samsung will reveal further details about the service such as new added features as well as available regions at the unpacked event.
Stay tuned.
