Originally, certain Samsung Galaxy phones had\u00a0MST (Magnetic S<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a>) built-in. This allowed the phone to \u201ctrick\u201d payment terminals into thinking it was a credit card, even if it didn\u2019t support mobile payments.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung eventually stopped including that technology in Galaxy phones. Nowadays, Samsung Pay is still pre-installed on all Samsung phones and smartwatches, but it only works over NFC (Near Field Communication) like other mobile payment apps.<\/p>\n<p>The concept is pretty simple. You add credit, debit, transit, and loyalty cards to the app, which then stores them. When you want to pay for something in a store, you unlock your phone, choose the card in Samsung Pay, and tap your device to the terminal. Just like that, you\u2019ve made a payment!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s one big catch with Samsung Pay\u2014it only works with Samsung devices. That means you either need a Samsung Galaxy phone or a Samsung smartwatch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What is NFC (Near Field Communication), and What Can I Use It For?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Google_Pay\"><\/span>What Is Google Pay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-702192\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Google-Pay-hero.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"google pay logo\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pay.google.com\/\">Google Pay<\/a> is essentially the same exact thing as Samsung Pay, but it\u2019s more universal. You can use Google Pay on most Android devices, including Samsung Galaxy phones and Samsung smartwatches with Wear OS.<\/p>\n<p>It works in the same way as Samsung Pay. You add your credit, debit, transit, and loyalty cards to the app, then you can tap your device to NFC payment terminals to pay for things. Google Pay supports a few more cards, but both services have all the major brands.<\/p>\n<p>Google Pay is much, much more than a mobile payments service. It can be used for peer-to-peer payments, finding deals and getting cash back, tracking your finances, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The most confusing thing about Google Pay is it\u2019s actually two different apps. In the U.S. and Singapore, the tap-to-pay functionality will be spun out into a separate app called \u201cGoogle Wallet.\u201d The Google Pay app will continue to provide the features mentioned above. In other countries, the entire experience will be in the Google Wallet app.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is Google Pay, and What Can You Do With It?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_One_Should_You_Use\"><\/span>Which One Should You Use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, there\u2019s a ton of overlap between these two services. The big feature that used to differentiate Samsung Pay\u2014making payments with MST\u2014has been eliminated. So now there\u2019s not much difference.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, Google Pay is the better option. It can be used on any Android device, including Samsung Galaxy phones. You can also use it on Samsung smartwatches and other Wear OS watches. The only devices that are restricted to only Samsung Pay are older watches based on Tizen OS.<\/p>\n<p>Google Pay also supports <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pay\/answer\/7351835?hl=en\">a few more cards and banks<\/a> than Samsung Pay. Plus, the added benefits of peer-to-peer payments, deals, and financial tracking are nice. Unless you\u2019re super invested in Samsung\u2019s ecosystem, there\u2019s no reason not to go with Google Pay. It will be easier to switch devices in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Google Wallet on Android Wants to Replace Your Real Wallet<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
