Good news. Android Pay has launched in Singapore, following Samsung Pay and Apple Pay.
For the consumers, it means that if you own any NFC-enabled mobile phones that have the latest Android KitKat 4.40 and above, you can now tap to pay for your purchases. Some of the NFC-enabled mobile phones include Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 4G+, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z5, LG G5 and more. (You can check out the non-exhaustive list here.)
