Samsung is serious about its Samsung Pay payment service. After recently extending this service to mid-range phones such as Galaxy A5, A7 or J7 Pro, decided to increase its scope even more. Latest informace there is even talk that Samsung Pay could soon appear on phones from other brands as well. This would be a real breakthrough and a huge increase in the reach of this feature.

Samsung mainly promises a much better competitiveness of Apple from this news Apple Pay to androidequivalent Android Pay. First news they are even talking about the date when the first phones of competing brands should start supporting this service. It is said that the first half of 2018 is already in the game. However, there is not much to be surprised about. The support of this technology is not particularly demanding in terms of production and programming. The only condition is the use of specific hardware MST transmission, which is needed for these payments. According to sources, there is also the possibility that the South Korean company would cooperate with companies that nod to the proposal of Samsung Pay support, at least in the initial stages of production, and thus achieve the necessary results.

Apple Pay has a big lead

According to analysts, Samsung's move is not at all surprising. The most recent research has ranked its payment method in second overall place among similar services. It is used by approximately 34 million users worldwide, Apple Pay boasts about 80 million users, Android Pay then 24 million. However, the popularity of Samsung's payment service has been skyrocketing recently, and it is likely that it will surpass the previously mentioned Apple. Although it has a big lead, it uses a completely different system, and it can also be assumed that it will not take a similar step as Samsung. However, it would be quite interesting if it too started to support Samsung Pay in the future. However, with an almost 100% probability, we will not see it.
