Samsung confirms Galaxy S21 series and future devices will not support MST for Samsung Pay, which enabled it to be used with legacy magnetic strip terminals
at least, in the US. https://www.androidpolice.com/ ... Harry McCracken / @harrymccracken : Samsung Pay's compatibility with magnetic-stripe payment terminals seemed like a great idea, but on previous phones I found it too complicated and unreliable to bother with. https://www.androidpolice.com/ ... Max Weinbach / @maxwinebach : Samsung, you really had to make Samsung Pay literally worthless, didn't you? https://www.androidpolice.com/ ...
So, I know the spec sheets say it, but Samsung has doubly confirmed to us that the S21 will not have MST for contactless payments — at least, in the US. https://www.androidpolice.com/ ...
