samsung pay and android pay

Will Samsung pay and android pay coincide well together obviously the galaxy s6 and above range will all have samsung pay as and when it launches in the UK, but android pay basically requires a phone with NFC and android kitkat + will they work side by side or will they conflict, EG could Samsung block google in favour of their own system

I tried to do a bit of a google dont know if im putting the wrong words in but cant find anything, i have a S6 EDGE plus .

i had an iphone 6 just for apple pay really and while it lasted that was kinda handy but i could just not get on with IOS enough just for that one thing so went back to android.

obviously both sam pay and droid pay also go on banks supporting them both on uk launch, so it would be a case of first come first used providing the samsung phones will support it.

Thanks Ash

Looks like Samsung Pay will just support S6 and Note 5 and newer variants, whereas Android Pay will support most Android devices running Kit Kat 4.4 or newer, with Android Pay you don't need to use passcode, but can use other unlock methods.

But there was an article where it was reported that Samsung are looking to make Samsung Pay on non Samsung devices. Alot of different stories at the moment.

It's all a bit of mess right now, but things are starting to move on nicely.

Plus, Barclays are launching their own Android Pay app in November.

Seems Samsung also uses magnetic transmission in addition to contactless.

I assume this means it will, if adopted, be compatible with most non contactless card reader machines too.

If that is the case unless it is fingerprint , android pay will be practically useless.

I believe with android pay you just use whatever method you currently use to unlock your phone, whether it be pattern, pin, pass code or fingerprint.

The US government handing them out like candy tells us that, for personal ID, fingerprints alone are not enough, especially at the Pentagon.

They keep using a blame China mantra, but I simply see them as hackers doing it for fun or financial profit.

I have to say I'm very surprised by that. When I'm sitting on the train I reckon I could note down the pin/pattern of almost every phone around me.

However, my point still stands. If you have to put in a pin/pattern then that doesn't seem very practical.

If you allow someone to compromise the core fingerprint data then of course it isn't secure anymore. That would also be true of any security method.

However, Samsung and Apple do not store core fingerprint data. More importantly the banks seem fine with it.
