Samsung pay looks interesting if you have a Sammy phone as it can even use magnetic swipe machines so you can actually use it in more places than Android or Apple pay.
The only difference to Android pay is the MST part, and that isn't accepted by UK banks who insist on chip+pin, so can't see it taking off. When was the last time you swiped a card in the UK?GreigM said:

I prefer using the Barclays system on my phone. It's pretty tight and it works quickly without fuss.
+1The fewer organisations who have a finger in the pie when I make a payment, the less of a hassle it'll be if something goes wrong. Very happy with the BarclayCard app on my phone.
Finally able to use it today and seemed to work OK.
(Looking forward to inevitable spat with other half on how it is no faster than using a card
)
How effectively does it work with loyalty cards though? I have added a nectar and waitrose card but unsure if this means I don't need to scan these separately.
