Can you pay on any card reader?

[smalba]

Older Samsung phones you can pay with Samsung pay on most card readers no nfc required. Does this phone do that?

No the last mst phone is the Note 20 Ultra which is why I'm holding on to that phone for dear life lol. The new phone will work wherever nfc is accepted of course, but that is it *.

Yeah there's still a few shops that don't have tap to pay.

Supposedly mastercard and visa will stop issuing cards with magnetic strips. But this will be a slow process and won't be complete till like 2033. So why Samsung took MST away so soon is a mystery.

It makes sense. The US is a big market, but it is still only one market And samsung "only" have 28% of it. Subtract from that the amount of people who actually use the feature (it might have seemed like a lot on here when they removed it, but we are a very skewed sample) and the actual userbase was likely tiny. Also bear in mind that samsung knows exactly how many people used it, and if it was worth keeping, they would have kept it.

Just did a NFC payment at Best Buy with the Z flip 4 and found out they have a 200$ limit for payment tapping. UGH!

The USA is always slow to adopt anything financially related. It took eons just to get chip and PIN technology on credit cards.

I had no idea "Samsung Pay" had changed so much. I've been on the fence between a Pixel 7 Pro or giving Samsung another whirl (last truly Samsung device for me was the OG Galaxy S). This makes me want to not break my Nexus/Pixel streak.

You're not going to get the pixel call screening features on a Samsung, neither will you get visual voicemail text transcription, or most likely a messaging app with working RCS. And a few other things I've forgotten at the moment. You'll have to switch all the native Samsung apps to the generic Google ones if you don't want to use Samsungs versions, including email. Kind of a pita if you're coming off pixels...

 

[KWKSLVR]

I always play mental gymnastics with what I want to do and then when the time comes I go all in on Pixel

The RCS thing is the one thing I haven't thought about losing. I've been using Pixels for so long now I think I'm embedded in all those cool things that make a Pixel a Pixel.

Yep you don't realize how much you like them until you lose'em Of course Sammy has a crazy amount of cool customizations... so many that they are a complete waste on me, they just clutter up my phone experience. But if you're into lots of customizing, and like to play with those features a lot, then Samsung would be the Android toy for you.

Sorry if I'm making your decision harder lol... just trying to help

It doesn't make it harder at all. I tend to be pretty low key. I just like to know my options and read up on as much as I can before making a decision. The thing is, if I'd been in the market for a Pixel 6 and done what I normally do....and ended up being one of those with Pixel 6 issues, I'd be really freaking annoying.

Everything has some issue though

 

[J Dubbs]

Overall it seems like the majority are pretty happy with their pixel 6's, and most all the reviews I've read were pretty glowing. But like you said everything has it's issues
