I have a question. I am considering purchasing my first android phone. I know nothing about the operating system. The phone I want is the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.

Here is the most important issue for me. I want to be able to make payments with my phone. Does this phone allow me to use my Paypal account to make purchases with participating merchants?

Welcome to Android Central! According to the app page:

"PAYPAL NOW ACCEPTED IN STORES. Take PayPal with you to local stores, cafes, restaurants and more. Use the app to check in to pay with your phone. We’re just getting started here, so look out for more locations coming soon."

So it sounds like the payment is based on checking in (sort of like with Facebook or Foursquare), not on NFC (tap to pay).

This is a pretty outdated thread, only going as far as ICS (Android 4.0). See this more updated guide: http://forums.androidcentral.com/gen...id-2014-a.html
