The world’s biggest maker of Android phones launched a major challenge to Google Wallet on Sunday, saying it will soon launch a rival phone-based payment system.</p><p>
Samsung Pay will appear first in the summer in the U.S.—later in other markets—and will allow consumers to make tap-and-go payments with a smartphone. It is being introduced as Google is moving to strengthen its position in the mobile payments market to better compete with Apple Pay.</p><p>
The system will first be available on the Galaxy S6, Samsung’s flagship smartphone that was launched on Sunday at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It will rely on the contactless NFC payment infrastructure already used by competitors including
Google Wallet and
Apple Pay.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2890772/samsung-to-launch-mobile-payments-in-challenge-to-google-apple.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
