I use the wallet app almost every day, but I also have Google Wallet installed on my phone for serving a specific purpose.<\/p>\n<p>If I ever change my primary handset from Samsung Galaxy to a phone from another brand, I&#8217;ll use the Google Wallet app as the default.<\/p>\n<p>My Galaxy S21 is more than five years old and is no longer eligible for major Android software updates. So, I&#8217;ve started preparing to buy a new phone to replace my S21, though I haven&#8217;t yet finalized which one I&#8217;ll buy.<\/p>\n<p>A non-Galaxy phone will likely replace it, as I&#8217;m gravitating towards a premium Google Pixel phone.<\/p>\n<p>The preparation for it is not just saving money, but also getting used to living with Google Wallet as the primary wallet app.<\/p>\n<p>So, I spent a week testing Google Wallet to see if I could leave my house without a bag.
