The death of Samsung llet has a hard date. The company is killing off the service on ne 30, with Samsung y set to rise from its ashes.

The Samsung llet site now has a shutdown notice, informing visitors of the bad news. However, the focus is shifting to Samsung y, which packs technology that will allow for non-NFC payment terminals to accept mobile payments.

The story behind the story: Samsung has big ambitions for Samsung y, touting it as more secure superior to  llet  Apple y. The key is making the process seamless enough so that pulling out your phone will be more convenient than taking out your wallet. is cooking up some type of alternative to llet dubbed Android y, which we’ll be on the lookout for at I/O later in May.

The rise of Samsung y

The company does expect better results from Samsung y, which will launch first on the Galaxy S6 this summer. It uses a technology Samsung acquired from opy that allows the phone to interact with any payments device. 

Even older machines that rely on swiping the card can talk to Samsung y, as the technology communicates a phantom swipe to the terminal. Currently llet Apple y require NFC (Near Field Communications) transactions.
