Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) gets Samsung Pay support in India
Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016)
The latest minor update for this handset in India does not even carry the latest security patches but comes with support for Samsung's mobile payments service.
Samsung Pay is expected to debut in India in the first half of the year and handsets are already starting to receive the update. According to SamMobile, the latest software update for the Galaxy Note 5 packed the Samsung Pay app as well. Now, the time has arrived for the Galaxy A7 (2016) to receive the same treatment.
SamMobile's sources claim that the firmware version A710FXXU2BPJ7 now rolls out in India and, sadly, there are no significant changes inside it. Leaving the Samsung Pay app aside, there is no new security patch or any major improvement to talk about. However, other compatible devices are expected to receive Samsung Pay support in the coming weeks as well, in advance for the official launch of the service in the country.
Recent reports reveal that Samsung will team up with American Express to launch the service, adding support for MasterCard and Visa after a while as well.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
