Magnetic has pretty much been phased out in favor of nfc. The stripe is there but only as backup I believe, if nfc doesn't work somehow.
I just have more faith in Samsung pay to bring nfc like apple than Google wallet, which never saw the light here (nfc terms as are actually everywhere here, contrary to the USA).
