Samsung Pay it could reach the rest of the mobile phones on the market, in addition to Samsung smartphones. Specifically, it could be in the middle of next year when the mobile payment platform reaches the rest of the mobile market. In addition, it would also be launched on Samsung's entry-level and mid-range smartphones.
Samsung Pay would reach non-Samsung mobiles
Samsung Pay is the mobile payment platform that is available for Samsung smartphones. This platform is already available in Spain, and it is now possible to make payments with our smartphone with high-end Samsung mobiles. However, the truth is that it is not available for the Galaxy J series. And of course, it is not available for all other non-Samsung smartphones either.
However, Samsung Pay could also launch for non-Samsung smartphones. Specifically, the new information that states that the mobile payment platform could arrive for the rest of smartphones that are not Samsung in the middle of next year, in the 2018.
Any smartphone that has NFC could have compatibility with the payment platform Samsung Pay.
But in addition, not only non-Samsung smartphones could have compatibility with the Samsung Pay mobile payment platform, but also Samsung entry-level mobiles, which until now were not compatible with the payment platform. These are the Galaxy J series mobiles, such as the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017), Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) or Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017).
We already said that new mobiles could have compatibility with the Samsung Pay mobile payment platform via a firmware update. Be that as it may, the Samsung Pay platform may be launched for the Samsung Galaxy J before the end of this year 2017.
Android Pay now available in Spain
The possible launch of Samsung Pay for all other non-Samsung smartphones comes now that Android Pay has already been officially launched in Spain. Android Pay is precisely a mobile payment platform available for more smartphones than Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. But if Samsung Pay were also launched for other mobiles, it could become the best mobile payment platform available for smartphones, being compatible with more banks than Android Pay.
