Are You Using Android Pay Yet?

2016-12-12
have you ever wanted to pay with your Android phone now he started to pay with Android tap your phone it's all you need to do buy those things you know they're good for you better next time sponsored by Google alright so Android pay you go I made a few videos about it you watch them they were exciting they were fun I went down in New York City I got into all kinds of mischief trying to get nuts let's get nuts I was purchasing Doritos I had a couple of meals I survived 24 hours using nothing but Android pay but in that video I might not have given you the whole picture on Android pay paying for things with your phone in general a lot of people are nervous a lot of people walk up to the cash they start shaking a little bit something getting all jittery they're like that's not the look you want to do you want to have confidence that's step one you can see that I have a credit card attached now the simplest way to add a credit card to your Android pay is by using the picture function so right here you can see you can add a credit card debit card a store gift card or even a loyalty program card you would simply place the card down Jack can probably see that right there see that check line it up with in there and then it will be added alternatively here's the add manually button this will allow you to put any card number in one of the benefits here is security believe it or not your entire credit card number is not fully transferred to the store that you're buying something from in the same way that it would be if you were just swiping a card so there's an added layer of security there this phone features NFC and that's the technology the Android pay is going to take advantage of and when you're out there in the world you're going to run into a variance in the pay terminals that exist out there some of them will be marked as Android pay others maybe not you might see a terminal like this with a tap portion which could have the logo on it it'll often be supported something that looks like this where you can then just tap on a screen so there's something at play here when it comes to the security that's referred to as tokenization when you tap it on one of these devices it's actually sending a token pin order to verify that that's legit instead of transferring your complete number over to that store and then then having it on file lilium that's up that's that's a magnet but it's strong so you can't really tell today another misconception that people have is that they need to go into their phone unlock their phone and then launch the app and select something but in reality especially on a phone like this with the fingerprint scanner right on the back you pull this out of your pocket unlock the device and even though you're not in the app or anything you would then just hold this up to the pay terminal it would launch Android pay and then complete the transaction so it's really one tap two terabytes I gotta have two terabytes I got a lot of stuff to carry around man so you're obviously going to need an Android device in order to use Android pay you're gonna have to have KitKat or newer from an operating system perspective and the Android pay app installed which is readily available and in many cases like the pixel it's pre-installed so as you saw in my previous videos the number of places retailers and so on that are starting to accept Android pay those are expanding in the 25 s in new york video I was at Foot Locker Game Stop McDonald's I mean we dip the lift ride oh and of course be an H we did the entire video at pH P and H also accepts Android pay get the app add a card check it out tried it a few your favorite retailers and see where you're at it's actually not that complicated it doesn't need to be that intimidating all right push the tech forward that's what we do here unbox therapy style tap your phone
