My daily driver is a Samsung Galaxy phone that supports Samsung Wallet. I use the wallet app almost every day, but I also have Google Wallet installed on my phone for serving a specific purpose.
If I ever change my primary handset from Samsung Galaxy to a phone from another brand, I’ll use the Google Wallet app as the default.
My Galaxy S21 is more than five years old and is no longer eligible for major Android software updates. So, I’ve started preparing to buy a new phone to replace my S21, though I haven’t yet finalized which one I’ll buy.
A non-Galaxy phone will likely replace it, as I’m gravitating towards a premium Google Pixel phone.
The preparation for it is not just saving money, but also getting used to living with Google Wallet as the primary wallet app.
So, I spent a week testing Google Wallet to see if I could leave my house without a bag. Here is how it went.
