The article, shortened and in plain language
There's a lot to talk about when comparing the different digital wallets on the market, but two parties in particular spark a debate. Samsung and Google offer their own solutions, and are both found on the Samsung family of devices. Therefore, if you've already evaluated the pros and cons of digital wallets in general, you'll need to make a choice between the two offerings if you're rocking a Samsung phone.
Naturally, both Samsung and Google wallets offer similar services. There are differences in utility between Samsung and Google wallets, and both have strengths in different niches, including ID storage, crypto and much more.
A big weakness of Samsung Wallet compared to Google is with digital IDs. Samsung Wallet is compatible with digital ID for 8 states, whereas digital IDs stored in Google Wallets are recognised in 11 states and Puerto Rico. While California, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, and Puerto Rico all recognise Google and not Samsung, the latter does have the advantage in West Virginia, where the former wallet is excluded.
Not only does Google Wallet have a web version, but it's available on other Android devices. Therefore, while you can pay with Google Wallet on your Samsung Galaxy watch, you won't use Samsung Wallet on your Pixel phone due to its Samsung device exclusivity.

that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
