I have a G2, seriously considering the move. Torn between the S6 and Z3, front facing speakers and waterproofing with amazing battery life for 200$ less sounds great, but I really want/need the best (fastest) camera as my G2 sucks at capturing my kids' moments.
So leaning towards S6 for camera, and I'm hoping fast charge/wireless charging help me get through the day painlessly, especially since my carrier gives a 2nd fast charger if you pre-order. Also hoping Samsung pay with the fingerprint scanner works in Canada like the iPhone, that'd be a serious differentiator with the Sony.
In Canada, do you use magnetic swipe credit cards or is it all chip and pin or chip and signature? If it uses a magnetic swipe, then I don't see how Samsung Pay wouldn't work.
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.In Canada, do you use magnetic swipe credit cards or is it all chip and pin or chip and signature?

is magnetic swipe the tap/pay (wireless/nfc)? If so we have that...but the reality here in Canada is i work in the Toronto area and never once saw someone use their mobile device to pay...so i think we're having a harder time believing it will work here.
Samsung is nfc too...The magnetic swipe I'm referring to is when you actually physically swipe your card through a card reader. Most places in the States still have us swiping our credit cards through those machines. If Canada is mainly NFC, then that could be an issue I guess to ensure that Samsung is accepted.

Such as? Presence of terminals? They're everywhere in Canada... Non presence of terminals? That's why they include magnetic.Correct, and that is why there could be the same limits on Samsung as Apple when it comes to NFC.

I don't hate apple, I just prefer android, but I think this is a better implementation to go at it worldwide...
