Samsung Pay Mini Launched in India: How’s It Different From Samsung Pay?

At an event in New Delhi on 14 June, Samsung launched it's J-Series smartphones -- the J7 Pro and the J7 Max, priced at Rs 20,900 and Rs 17,900 respectively. These smartphones come with all the specs you'd expect in phones costing around Rs 20k, such as 13 MP cameras, Full-HD displays, dual-SIM slots and more. Samsung also introduced some flashy features such as its new 'Social Camera'.

While the J7 Pro gets Samsung Pay, something that went unnoticed is that the J7 Max will be getting Samsung Pay Mini, something that the company has quietly launched in the country today. This is different to the Samsung Pay that the company launched back in March.

While Samsung Pay is seen only on high-end Samsung smartphones, Samsung Pay Mini is designed to work on those phones featuring at least an HD display and running Android 5.0 Lollipop or newer.

Samsung Pay vs Samsung Pay Mini

This way, Samsung Pay eliminates the need to carry debit and credit cards, allowing users to make contactless payments across various retail outlets using specific smartphones. You just need to open Samsung Pay app, select the card, touch the device to the metal strip of the PoS machine, authenticate with fingerprint and the payment is made.

Samsung Pay also comes with Paytm integration, and recently even added UPI support, to enable multiple types of digital payments in just one app.
