Most of Samsung’s smartphones — including Galaxy A-series, Galaxy S-series and Galaxy Z-series devices — come with Samsung Pay, which enables them to make digital payments. In India, supported Samsung device owners can also pay their mobile postpaid, electricity, DTH, broadband, landline, gas, and water bills with UPI on Samsung Pay. In addition to this, users can pay their credit card bill and even get personalised loan option in the app. Needless to say, that Samsung Pay is an incredibly useful digital payments app that comes pre-installed on Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
Now, if you use Samsung Pay frequently, it makes sense to keep in the app drawer of your smartphone.
