Samsung has revealed that its mobile payments service is "coming soon" to three additional countries, Brazil, Australia, and Singapore. It also revealed that its mobile payment technology will soon be supported by its Gear S2 smartwatches, offering users more payment options. The service launched early 2016 and, thus far, is available in South Korea and the US, with plans for launches into the UK, China, and Spain. Reports also suggest that Samsung's strong early performances in the US and South Korean markets are continuing, due to its compatibility with card readers already in use, unlike Apple Pay.
