Samsung Wallet Enables Biometric Authentication for UPI Payments in India
Samsung has introduced biometric authentication for UPI payments via Samsung Wallet on Galaxy devices in India. Users can authorize transactions up to Rs 10,000 using fingerprint or iris recognition instead of entering a UPI PIN, enhancing convenience and security. This feature, which must be enabled by users, aims to reduce transaction failures from incorrect PIN entries. Samsung Wallet also supports contactless payments and stores digital items, secured by Samsung Knox technology.
