This article is for subscribers only.
Samsung Electronics Co.’s first Galaxy S6 smartphones couldn’t fend off gains by Apple Inc. Now the South Korean company is counting on a bigger wraparound screen and mobile payment system to sway customers.
The S6 Edge Plus and the Note 5 unveiled Thursday will include Samsung Pay when they go on sale this month. The payment service will debut in Samsung’s home market on Aug. 20 and be available to U.S. owners of its high-end Galaxy devices in September.
