While Google had then dismissed speculation around the launch of the app in India, it has now officially launched the app. For those unaware, Google Wallet is a digital wallet platform that allows users to store their loyalty cards, gift cards, boarding passes and more. Google has partnered with over 20 brands in India and has said that other brands will be added in the coming months. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What is Google Wallet?" comment="subhead" text="What is Google Wallet?">What is Google Wallet?</cmsannotation> The Google Wallet was first launched in 2011 in the US as a payment app and was relaunched as a digital wallet app in 2022. With Google Wallet, you can store digital versions of your transit passes, office badges, vaccine records, car keys, boarding passes, and even student IDs. Now, nearly two years later, the app has made its way to India, albeit with some changes. While the app in the US allows users to add their debit and credit cards, Indian users will not be able to do so. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Google Wallet for India" comment="subhead" text="Google Wallet for India">Google Wallet for India</cmsannotation> To cater to India, Google has partnered with over 20 of the country’s leading brands, including PVR &amp; Inox, Air India, Indigo, Flipkart, AbhiBus, Kochi Metro and more. For India, the Google Wallet app will only work as a digital wallet and users will not be able to add their debit or credit cards. For this purpose, Indian users can continue to use the <keyword id="19907218" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Google-Pay" source="keywords">Google Pay</keyword> app. "The arrival of Google Wallet in India marks an important milestone in Android's India journey, bringing innovative and convenient experiences to simplify peoples' daily lives. We are delighted to partner with many of India's top brands to offer a comprehensive solution that helps you securely access and manage your everyday essentials. From boarding passes to loyalty cards, and event tickets to public transport passes - they're there when you need them,” said Ram Papatla, GM and India Engineering Lead, Android at Google. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Google Pay to continue" comment="subhead" text="Google Pay to continue">Google Pay to continue</cmsannotation> In February 2024, Google announced that it would replace the Google Pay app with the Google Wallet in the US. While Google has now launched the Google Wallet in India, the Google Pay app will continue to work as usual in the country. The Google Pay app already has a huge user base in the country, alongside PhonePe. As per NPCI data, over 5 billion transactions were done on Google Pay in April 2024. "Google Pay is not going anywhere. It will remain our primary payment app. Google Wallet is specifically tailored for non-payment use cases," Papatla added.

After issuing millions of credit cards, the two companies partnered again to launch a savings account. “Apple today announced a new Savings account for <keyword id="7462844" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="apple-card" source="Orion">Apple Card</keyword> that will allow users to save their Daily Cash and grow their rewards in a high-yield Savings account from Goldman,” Apple said in its blog post. The savings account service is currently limited to the United States and will allow Apple Card users to save the Daily Cash they earn in the account. For those unaware, Daily Cash are the rewards Apple Card users earn on transactions. Apple Card users can set up their savings account in the Wallet, and the Daily Cash they earn will be deposited in the savings account. No fees or minimum balance requirements Apple has revealed that its savings account will not have any fees and users will be able to sign up for the account for free. In addition to this, the account will not have any minimum balance or minimum deposit requirements. This means you can sign up for the account without worrying about maintaining a minimum balance. Here’s how deposits and withdrawals will work Apple has said that users can freely deposit and withdraw money from their Apple savings account through a linked bank account. “Users can also deposit additional funds into their Savings account through a linked bank account or from their Apple Cash balance. Users can also withdraw funds at any time by transferring them to a linked bank account or to their Apple Cash card, with no fees,” Apple added. Apple claims it will offer high-interest Apple has claimed that its account will have a “high-yield”. The company has, however, not revealed the exact percentage of the interest. In a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/13/apple-goldman-sachs-introduce-interest-bearing-savings-accounts.html">statement</a> to CNBC, an Apple representative said, the interest rate will be “competitive, with the best rates available, and will be the same for all users.” Goldman Sachs currently offers a 2.15% annual yield through its Marcus brand.

Razer <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/23/razer-visa-prepaid-card/">previously announced</a> its ambitions to build a prepaid card in partnership with the payments giant last year, but unveiled the card and beta program on October 5.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-does-apple-card-work">Similar to the Apple Card</a>, the Razer Card is a virtual card that can be accessed via the company's Razer Pay service. There's also an option to upgrade to a premium physical card, which the company says can light up when making a chip or contactless payment. Razer's physical cards are numberless, the company says, another characteristic is shares with the Apple Card.The company hasn't explicitly said whether it will charge users for the light-up card. But it does refer to the virtual and standard cards as complementary, saying the users can upgrade to the premium card — implying that there may be a fee to do so. Coming from a gaming company, it's no surprise that Razer is trying to "gamify" its prepaid card. The company claims its rewards system will differ from that of other cards since it will allow card holders to track and score rewards based on everyday tasks and transactions.The card offers 1% cash back on all purchases and 5% on purchases made through Razer's store and Razer Gold, the company's virtual credit system for buying games and in-game content. During the beta, cardholders will get 10% cash back on purchases made through these Razer channels. The prepaid card is being launched by Razer Fintech, the gaming hardware firm's digital payment network in Southeast Asia. It may seem like an unexpected move for a company best known for its line of gaming accessories and laptops, but Razer views its Fintech arm as <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200324005313/en/%C2%A0Razer-Announces-2019-Full-Year-Financial-Results?utm_source=Triggermail&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Post%20Blast%20bii-banking:%20Gaming%20hardware%20maker%20wants%20to%20build%20a%20bank%20%7C%20Revolut%20integrates%20business%20accounts%20with%20Sage%20%7C%20Australian%20neobank%20cuts%20interest%20rates%20again&amp;utm_term=BII%20List%20Banking%20ALLanking%20ALL">an important part of its growth strategy</a> along with mobile and cloud gaming and esports.

Best deals on Samsung smartphones you shouldn’t miss

<ul><li>Popular YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss has found an issue with several of his <keyword id="10591" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="samsung" source="Orion">Samsung</keyword> devices.</li><li>The batteries of several of his Samsung smartphones have swollen, resulting in devices splitting in two parts.</li><li>Samsung has a history of battery issues and was even forced to issue a recall for the Galaxy Note 7.</li></ul>Samsung has had its fair share of battery issues and was even forced to announce a large-scale <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/statement-on-galaxy-note7">recall</a> of the Galaxy Note 7 in 2016. This has probably been one of the reasons why the company is cautious about the battery capacity and fast charging technology it uses on its devices. However, the company’s battery troubles may not entirely be in the past. Popular YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss (Arun Rupesh Maini) in a video has revealed that several Samsung smartphones that he has stored over the years have swollen. <div type="Youtube" id="OfM0GqsIB6c" title="Samsung phones are Blowing Up - Here’s Why." thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OfM0GqsIB6c/mqdefault.jpg"><url><![CDATA[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfM0GqsIB6c]]></url></div> Maini in his video stated that he was working on a video around Samsung smartphones when he noticed that the Galaxy Note 8 had “blown up”. In the video, we can see that the battery has expanded significantly and this has split the device in two parts. Initially, Maini didn’t think too much about this and ordered a replacement for the device. However, before he received the replacement, he noticed that two other devices, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S10 had the same fate. After this, the UK-based YouTuber checked several of his other devices, including Apple phones, Pixel phones and Asus devices. None of these devices had any issues. He noted that he has stored hundreds of devices in the same place at the same temperature and in the same position. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Samsung’s response to Maini" comment="subhead" text="Samsung’s response to Maini">Samsung’s response to Maini</cmsannotation> In July, Maini posted a <a href="https://twitter.com/Mrwhosetheboss/status/1552279853633835009">tweet</a> mentioning that batteries of three of his Samsung devices had blown up. After this, Samsung contacted the YouTuber and picked up the devices to investigate. The YouTuber has revealed that it has been over 50 days since the devices were picked up by Samsung and the company is yet to respond or replace the devices. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="It’s not an isolated event" comment="subhead" text="It’s not an isolated event">It’s not an isolated event</cmsannotation> Here’s where the issue gets bigger. Maini found a Facebook post by another YouTuber, Matt Ansini, in which he claimed “every 3+ year old Samsung phone we had in storage at the office had their batteries expanded like this…every single one”. After this, Maini rechecked his other Samsung devices and found that three other devices had blown up. The issue became quite serious when he found that the Galaxy Z Fold 2, the company’s premium foldable smartphone that was launched in 2020 had also blown up. The YouTuber then reached out to Marques Brownlee, also known as MKBHD. Brownlee revealed that the YouTuber finds one or two swollen devices occasionally and “every single time, it’s been a Samsung phone, it’s never been any other brand of phone”. Maini then reached out to Zach from JerryRigEverything, who is popular for device teardowns. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Here’s JerryRigEverything’s take on the issue" comment="subhead" text="Here’s JerryRigEverything’s take on the issue">Here’s JerryRigEverything’s take on the issue</cmsannotation> Zach revealed that the issue could be with the electrolyte in the battery. Electrolyte is the liquid that ions move within the battery, allowing the battery to be stable. The liquid is reportedly decomposing and releasing a gas which is resulting in swollen batteries. “If that electrolyte is gone, I think thermal runaway and damage to the battery is way more likely to happen if it ever is charged up again or tried to be used again,” said Zach from JerryRigEverything. Zach then went on to puncture the swollen batteries but there was no explosion. He however said that he would be “very nervous” about charging a device with a swollen battery. He added that if the electrolyte has evaporated inside the battery, it would get “really hot really fast” if you charge it. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Batteries are supposed to last at least five years" comment="subhead" text="Batteries are supposed to last at least five years">Batteries are supposed to last at least five years</cmsannotation> After checking his Samsung devices multiple times, Maini noticed that the Galaxy S20 FE, which was delivered just 18 months ago had met the same fate. He added that batteries are claimed to last for at last five years and a battery expanding after just 18 months is not normal. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Should you be worried?" comment="subhead" text="Should you be worried?">Should you be worried?</cmsannotation> At present, the issue is mostly being reported by users who have been storing their device for a long time and haven’t used it regularly. If you have such a device, or are using a <keyword id="816636" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="samsung-smartphone" source="Orion">Samsung smartphone</keyword>, you can keep an eye on the battery and if you notice any issue, we recommend you to immediately contact a Samsung service centre.
