SAMSUNG PAY (worth revolutionizing our payment methods?)


SINCE 8 November 2016 (demonetization date in India),cashless payment methods and internet banking had taken new heights and companies like Paytm and quickcharge etc. are working hard  to bring the comfort of payment to the smart phones lying in your pockets.
These apps (after installing in your devices and after filling your banking details for transactions and all)  can help you pay your online bills, recharge your services and take or give cash from one to the other person etc....
But when these applications can provide you with all these great services then what is so special about the upcoming Samsung electronics' initiative namely SAMSUNG PAY.(does not include any paid promotions).




SAMSUNG PAY

  • An initiative by Samsung electronics.


  • It let users make online payments using compatible phones and basically works the best with Samsung devices.
  • This service of Samsung does not only allow you to make con-tactless payments but also incorporates an electromagnetic transmission system that makes it accessible on payment terminals(only magnetic stripe supporting ones).
FUN FACT o.1 - Samsung PAY was initially developed by an crowdfunded startup company, LoopPay.
  • Samsung acquired the Samsung pay from LoopPay in February,2015.
  • LoopPay believed that there MST(magnetic secure transmission) technology would work with about 90% of all point-of-sale in United States.
FUN FACT 0.2 - SAMSUNG PAY WAS FIRST LAUNCHED IN KOREA ON AUGUST 20,2015.
followed by   -                                                                                                                                               United States,China,Spain,Singapore,Australia,Puerto                         Rico,Brazil,Russia,Thailand,Canada,Malaysia.


AND NOW ON MARCH 6,2017 WE FINALLY WELCOME IT IN INDIA.
  • On May 2016, it was reported that Samsung was developing a smaller version of their PAY service which will be used for online payments only.
  • On January 2017,Samsung confirmed that this smaller version of the service would not be only available on galaxy devices but also on other android devices which will be running lollipop or above versions of android and have a resolution 1280 x 720 pixels or higher.
  • Samsung Pay works the best with their own mobile phone range including -
  1. Galaxy series.
  2. On series.
  3. J series.
  4. Note series.
  5. and any other series which belongs to Samsung Electronics.(but definitely not with any non-smart cell phone series.) 

  • Samsung declares that it will bring Samsung PAY properties of NFC and MST technology payment to its smart watches series.So the comfort of payment will be bought to your wist.


Here is the link that will provide you with the full setup and usage of the service on your probably compatible device-  http://www.samsung.com/in/samsung-pay/ (doesn't include any paid promotions.)
 
hence let us bring it to the conclusion -It looks Samsung is revolutionizing the way we pay by making it more comfortable and relaxingBUT, the truth is something else.Samsung is not the only company which is thinking about revolutionizing the way we pay as there are a bunch of companies which can be seen to deal with it.

 ANDROID PAY by Google - It gives almost all of the android phones the power of tap-to-pay purchases with NFC technology.




APPLE PAY by Apple - Apple PAY is a service initiated by Apple to make payments in-person easier.It only supports ios devices.It sought to replace all other methods of payment like magnetic stripe, credit cards, debit cards or any other method by pure contact-less method. 


MICROSOFT WALLET by Microsoft - IT is a service initiated by Microsoft that let users make payments and store loyalty cards on certain devices.It currently runs the HCE(host card emulation) technology for storing loyalty cards in certain devices (which in my means is pretty impressive).Mostly similar to android pay.




These are some of the services initiated by well-known companies to make the way you pay a lot easier. But, the problem is that even not one of these are till now (March,2017) available in India.

So lets see how Samsung pay establish itself in India and will it be able to reach our aspirations.

Thanks for reading.
Keep up for more awesome stuff.
Don't forget to put your valuable comments down below.

Animal and Plant Cells

 Cells Cells are the basic functional, biological and structural unit of life. The word cell is a Latin word meaning ‘small room’. Cells are also known as building blocks of life.  The branch of science that deals with the form, structure, and composition of a cell is known as Cytology. All organisms around us are made up of cells. Bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, fungi, plants and animals are made up of cells.  Cells together form tissues. And tissue together makes an organ. History Of Cell The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He assembled a simple microscope and observed a very thin slice of cork under his primitive microscope. The cork was obtained from the outer covering of a tree called bark. Robert Hooke observed many little-partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb. He termed these boxes as the cell. He also noticed that one box was separated from another by a wa...

Android Versions Named After Sweet

Have you ever thought why are Android versions always named after sweet names ?? Everytime a new Android version is launched its name is kept after a sweet name. Many people have researched about this topic and many have asked Google also. Have you ever tried to find out the core reason behind this? If not then you would find the answer here . First of all let us first see what Google says about this : In 2008 i.e. the year when Android was launched a reporter asked the reason for the same. At that time Google said “It’s kind of like an internal team thing, and we prefer to be a little bit — how should I say — a bit inscrutable in the matter, I’ll say,” said Randall Sarafa, a Google spokesman. “The obvious thing is that, yeah, the Android platform releases, they go by dessert names and by alphabetical order for the most part."
