Samsung Pay

Samsung has a foldable that unfolds into a tablet, and it also has one that folds into a smaller phone. Is the Galaxy Z Flip 5G worth your time?

How would you feel if the next time you're asked to pay for something, the shop asked you to tap your card to their phone? That's the idea behind something launching in Australia.

Folks living in NSW may be gradually returning to regular life and giving the public transport card a workout, but it could be a part of their phones in the next year.

Having the right device is one of the clear limitations of using mobile payments, but the right bank is crucial, too. And with Samsung's latest move, it may be helping to solve that last one.

In Samsung's latest watch, the Galaxy Watch3, the circle is back, and that makes it a cinch to use. What else has changed?

Three of the Westpac-owned banks are getting support for the iPhone's mobile payment system, while Westpac itself is still in the pipeline.

It's been a long time coming, but the NSW-based Opal card now works not just across trains, ferries, and light rail, but also bus services, too.

Public transport in New South Wales has support for tap on payment using various mobile payment services on phones and wearables, but the bus system has now. Fortunately, that's changing.

Samsung has been making wearables for longer than most recall, but the Galaxy Watch Active takes its smartwatches somewhere else, offering something small, shiny, and yet also very simple.

If you have a Samsung phone, you may be able to tap on to NSW trains and ferries without unlocking your phone. Handy.
