> Samsung Pay (works on credit card readers)

I was wondering what you mean, until I read the first child comment. Credit card readers around Europe support NFC (are all chip based), I haven't seen an only magnetic stripe card in years.

In America NFC is often available now but it's broken in a lot of places where the reader will reject the transactions outright. Very disappointing to use and 100% of my iPhone friends still carry a wallet.
