Though the Galaxy S25 series debut and a sneak peek at the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge were undeniably the biggest news to come out of Samsung Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung also unveiled a slew of exciting new software features for its latest phones. One that takes a page from Apple Wallet will roll out later this year, bringing peer-to-peer payments and layaway options to Samsung Wallet, according to a report from SamMobile.
The first feature, called Tap to Transfer, works a lot like Apple's Tap to Cash, letting you send money to someone else simply by tapping your phones together. Except Samsung Wallet does one better than Apple Wallet; since transactions can be tied to linked accounts and debit cards, not solely through Samsung Pay, it'll offer support for third-party digital wallets as well. This means transactions go through Mastercard or Visa rather than Samsung's own system. A similar feature already exists in South Korea, but now the company plans to bring Tap to Transfer to U.S. users with the best Samsung phones.
