In Australia at least paypass/paywave is ultra common. Just wave and you're done. At least as fast as a swipe, and you don't even have to take your card out of the wallet.

That sounds like "contactless" in the UK. Just swipe for transactions under £30, use your PIN if it's greater than that. It's very convenient, and I feel no need for a smartphone solution at this point.

The same terminals work with Android pay. The only thing is that the card number used is not he the one on your original card when using Android pay.
