    Earlier this year Samsung confirmed that it's going to expand Samsung Pay to seven new countries in 2016. The list of countries includes Australia, Canada, Brazil, Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom, Samsung Pay has already gone live in China. The company has been gradually rolling out this service and some believe it's not doing that as rapidly as it should be. What are your views on the matter, should Samsung be racing to cover as many markets as possible? The mobile payments space is already crowded and it would do well for Samsung to carve a niche out for itself sooner rather than later. Do you agree or disagree? Vote below and let us know what you think in the comments section.

    Poll Results: An overwhelming majority of our readers hold the view that since Samsung Pay supports both MST and NFC they expected that it would have a faster roll out. Only a small fraction find it new for them to pay using their smartphone so they are nonplussed by the slow roll out.
