Samsung Gear S3, the latest smartwatch from the South Korean company, has already come on sale in countries such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom, and as we might expect, it supports Samsung's contactless payment system, called Samsung Pay. However, one of its most obvious attractions is that it will allow you to use the Samsung payment system on any device, We will not have to have a Galaxy phone on duty if we want to use Samsung PaAnd, yes, we must make payments through the platform available in the Gear S3.
It is an interesting way to expand your contactless payment system, since Samsung Pay is a bit confined to the company's devices, and for one reason or another, many users prefer to buy other devices, however, the Gear S3 alternative from Samsung it is postulated as the best smartwatch that we can find in the Android environment, at least as far as compatibility is concerned, and not everything is there, we have already spoken on other occasions that the Samsung watch is compatible with Apple's iPhone and will expand its range of services in future updates (yes, forget Apple Pay via Samsung Gear S3).
To run Samsung Pay through the Gear S3 we will only need an Android mobile device that has version 4.4 Kit-Kat operating system (or higher), we configure the system in our Samsung Pay account and we can pay whenever we want using the relevant codes.
The Samsung watch is available as we have already said in the United States and the United Kingdom from 350 dollars (something more when it arrives in Europe), and it becomes the flagship of Android-compatible watches, although we must bear in mind that it will not use Android Wear as an operating system.
