An unhappy Samsung Gear S2 owner recently made a shout out to Samsung on twitter. He complained that his Gear S2 smartwatch hadn’t received the promised update containing the Samsung Pay feature. Samsung Mobile US then replied with the statement “we’re sorry for the wait, Samsung Pay is now coming to the Gear S2 in 2016.”
Samsung Pay was supposed to launch for the Gear S2 sometime in November, however the company seems to be experiencing delays. One can still use the wireless payment service on their Samsung flagship smartphone. Samsung is also said to be bringing Samsung Pay compatibility to some mid-range handsets. The soon to be launched Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 will be the first mid-range handsets to include the new feature.
We’re not sure as to what’s causing the delays, after all, the Gear S2 has the required sensors built into the watch itself. 2016 is the new target for the release and should roll out via a software update, like the one that released just days ago. By then there’s a good chance we start hearing rumors associated with the next iteration Gear S3 smartwatch.
