Google Vs Samsung: What features set their digital wallets apart?

Google's wallet has plenty of upsides compared to Samsung, but don't count out the competition yet. Samsung Wallet has the edge when it comes to cryptocurrency, as it allows you to link digital asset services (such as Coinbase or Samsung's own Blockchain Wallet) with the rest of your cards. This allows you to view and manage your crypto assets from your wallet app.

Furthermore, security is a big factor for many — especially if your digital wallet is holding your house keys. Digital wallets are generally quite secure, with Samsung and Google both offering similar levels of data encryption. You'll probably have more to worry about from social engineering scams than brute-force cyber attacks. Samsung, however, may have a very slight edge here due to its integration with KNOX, which offers the increased protection of hardware-level security.

If you're a Samsung Galaxy phone owner and you're worried about choosing a default wallet option, don't stress. There's nothing stopping you from using both wallets and having one as a fallback for the other.
