Clearly Samsung needs a mobile payment system in the US which supports the users current credit cards so that carrier sales staff can say you can use it just like Apple Pay, otherwise Samsung’s US market share – one of the few markets where it is growing – is likely to drop. This does however look like yet another band aid solution.

IMO Samsung’s best long term hope is to make a 64 bit ARM design which is performance competitive with Qualcomm. Then, with its component manufacturing strength in other areas, it will be able to maintain better margins than the rest of the Android sector. Easier said than done.
