samsung_pay_splash Samsung's mobile payment service, Samsung Pay, launched back in September and has been on a mission to beat out rivals such as Android Pay and Apple Pay. Unlike competitors, Samsung Pay brings the addition of magnetic secure transmission allowing for a much wider compatibility.

The only downside of Samsung Pay is that it only works on specific Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5. However, a new rumor shows positive signs. There's a possibility that Samsung will bring its payment service to a wider range of brands in the future. Samsung also plans to continue its advertising scheme that it's not just another Android Pay or Apple Pay, it's something more special. The rumor comes from the VP of Samsung's mobile division, Injong Rhee, so it's safe to assume that this is valid. As always, we'll keep you updated if we hear any further plans.
