Samsung Pay on the Gear S3 now works with any compatible Android smartphone
Last week it was confirmed that Samsung Pay on the Gear S3 would work with any compatible Android device. This means that you can rest easy purchasing the latest smartwatch from Samsung while being able to take advantage of Samsung Pay despite not owning a Samsung smartphone.
In order to get this functionality working, you’ll need to download the latest version of Samsung’s Gear Manager application from the Play Store. Once complete, you will be able to set up Samsung Pay for the Gear S3 on your non-Samsung smartphone.
Considering Samsung is opening up this functionality to everyone, does this help persuade you to pick up the Gear S3 as your next smartwatch? If not, what other options are you looking into?
