Hi,

2 weeks ago I bought new A7 from samsung store. The problem is that I can't download samsung pay. It shows that my device is not compatible. I know that Samsung pay doesn't work on some phones but I got the phone straight from Samsung!

What should I do?

@Marcingibas86: Sadly, Samsung Pay is only currently available on the Galaxy S9, S9+, Note9, S8, S8+ and Note8, S7 and S7 edge, S6, S6 edge and S6 edge+, A9, A8, A6, A3, A5 2017, J4+, J6+, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S3 & Gear Sport. As an alternative you may wish to check out Google Pay via the Google Play Store which is compatible with all non rooted Android devices with version 5.0 and above: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&hl=en_GB.

Doesn't make sense at all how can the A6, A3, A5 and  J ranges be compatible but an A7 2018 model is not! No logic behind that. I know you can't blame you but Samsung needs to look into it.

I talk with "Samsung Switzerland" They said it will be compatible and if you go to the store in us you will see the "Galaxy A7 2018" is compatible in us with "Samsung Pay"

Hi @Marcingibas86 

 

Can you please share print screens from your phone: 

Settings -> About phone -> Software information

Open dial number pad -> type "*#1234#"

 

I have checked on A7 2018 and Samsung Pay is available in the Samsung Galaxy App Store. I'll put below some pictures for reference.
