Google joins Apple to strike on Samsung Pay in South Korea
Google Pay reportedly landed in Samsung’s home ground, South Korea. ETNews just revealed that some offline merchants in South Korea started using Google Pay to collect no-contact payments through the NFC (near field communication) method.
Earlier, it was confirmed that the Korean region blocking (van) was lifted in the “Google Wallet” app update that implements Google Pay. As a result, it is possible to access the service with a Korean user account, and it’s possible to register a credit card or debit card that supports Google Pay as well as a Korean menu service.

Google Pay app does not appear in the Google Play Store accessed from the Korean region, but it can be used by sideloading the app using the APK file. With the release of the van this time, offline payments in Korea have become possible, which was deactivated in previous versions.
Notably, Google Pay is offering a simple payment experience, which is easier than Samsung Pay and Apple Pay. You just need to unlock your Android device and bring it to the payment terminal without the process of running the app, no separate biometric authentication or password input process is needed.
Samsung Pay has to compete in the Android ecosystem. The share of the Samsung Galaxy series is overwhelming in the Korean Android smartphone market, but there is not much incentive for users to abandon the familiar Samsung Pay and switch to Google Pay.
An expert in the payment industry said, “In order for Google Pay and Samsung Pay to work on the same smartphone, the user must set the NFC payment priority, but Samsung Pay is set as the default for the Galaxy series.” Partnerships can also change.”
WhatsApp has rolled out a new update for its beta version 2.24.10.22, which includes a redesigned drawing editor. This update is currently available to a limited number of beta testers through the Google Play Beta Program.
The update brings a significant change to the drawing editor by moving the brush and color tools to the bottom of the screen. This change is particularly beneficial for users with larger screens, as it makes the tools easier to access and use with one hand.
Additionally, WhatsApp has improved the color selection feature by introducing a palette of 24 default colors. This simplifies the process of choosing colors for users. The font size adjustment has also been made more user-friendly, with a new bar that allows users to scroll to change the size, instead of the previous gesture control.
This redesigned drawing editor was first mentioned in the Android 2.24.9.6 update and later released to iOS users, and is now being rolled out to Android beta testers. This update overall aims to offer a more accessible and improved drawing editor to provide an enhanced user experience.
