Question: Is Android Pay Now Google Pay?
Contents

As we reported last month, Google is uniting all of its different payment tools under the Google Pay brand. On Android, however, the Android Pay app stuck with its existing brand. That’s changing today, though, with the launch of Google Pay for Android.

Is Android pay the same as Google pay?

Samsung Pay and Google Pay (formerly Android Pay) are digital wallets systems. Both allow you to pay for goods in real life and over the internet without using a physical credit card to complete the transaction. They work the same way, but they are different systems.

Is Google pay only for android?

Google Pay is available on all modern Android phones (KitKat 4.4+). However, to pay in stores using Google Pay, your phone must support NFC (near-field communication) and HCE (host card emulation).
