Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay: What's the Difference?
Sundar Pichai announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona an API for Android Pay. Now just three technology giants have products with the same name - this is Pay from Apple, Samsung and Google. Despite this, they are completely different. Under the cut - more about what are their differences .
The meaning of Apple Pay and Samsung Pay is to give a person the opportunity to buy goods in stores using a phone, replacing plastic cards. Apple Pay works on the latest iPhones, but card receiving devices should work with NFC. Two hundred thousand retailers support Apple Pay, but not all of them support NFC.
Samsung has an advantage here: thanks to the purchase of LoopPay , with the S6 you can pay for your purchase at terminals that support only rolling magnetic cards. The company claims that thirty million outlets in the world can potentially work with Samsung Pay.

Google has Google Wallet since 2011, allowing you to shop at NFC stores. But Android Pay is an application programming interface, a platform that will allow developers to add new features of secure payments in online stores and retail outlets. Pay will complement the Google Wallet.
Google has high hopes for Android Pay. For many people, the platform will become the easiest way to pay for goods. Pichai is counting on the widespread introduction of innovative Android Pay services in China and India.
