I'm not so sure, any form of Android Pay isn't going to work on the lesser Chinese brands, or the cheap end of the market like Alcatel, most Huawei, ZTE, or even lower end Motorola, Sony, HTC or Samsung.
When you look at the higher end smartphone market I doubt it's all the much bigger than iPhone.
Can you imaging the PR furore when 70%-80% of Android phone owners are excluded, including many current phones..
