Samsung Pay allows users to save credit cards, gift cards, as well as other payment methods.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung Pay recently launched in India. Samsung has been strategically and quietly adding Samsung Pay to cheaper phones and plans to experiment the idea in India. One of the reasons that Samsung possibly chose India to experiment with Samsung Pay on cheaper phones is because out of 85 million Samsung phones in India, 25 million are cheaper Galaxy J series. Also recently, India prohibited 500 rupees and 1,000 rupees bills from circulating thus making Samsung Pay easier to buy things.<\/p>\n<p>If expanding Samsung Pay to cheaper phones in India turns out to be successful, it will be a very clever move made by Samsung. With the dense population in India, Samsung can easily turn into the mobile payment industry leader. However, competitors such as Paypal and Apple Pay can easily catch up as well. The competition against the many mobile payment companies are growing more and more intense but if Samsung can secure the first-mover advantage, they can secure their placement in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/samsung-pay-galaxy-j-phones-india\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung may be implementing Samsung Pay to their non-premium phones such as the Galaxy J series phone priced around $115.
