Bigger roll-out planned
Samsung could soon be rolling out its mobile payment platform to more of its handsets as it looks to take on the likes of Apple Pay and Android Pay – so you won’t necessarily have to buy a top-of-the-range Galaxy to be able to use it.
Markets in developing countries, where the number of budget and mid-range phones in use is rising quickly, are the places Samsung wants to get a foothold, reports Mashable. Anonymous sources have said India will be used as a testing ground for this upcoming Samsung Pay expansion.
All that a phone will need is a PIN code to authorize the transaction, so there’s no fancy fingerprint sensor required, and Samsung is apparently in negotiations with payment providers in India to support the service.
