Android Pay now supports Wells Fargo cards on Android Wear 2.0

When Android Wear 2.0 launched earlier this month, the smartwatch OS update included support for Android Pay for the first time. However, two major banks in the US that support Android Pay on smartphones, CITI Bank and Wells Fargo, did not initially include support for Android Wear 2.0 devices as well.
Now it looks like one of those banks has had a change of heart. Google’s support page for Android Pay now indicates that Wells Fargo has added credit cards for Android Wear 2.0 users. This has also been confirmed by online reports posted on Reddit of Wells Fargo cards working on those devices.
The support page shows that Wells Fargo consumer and business debit Visa cards, consumer prepaid and credit Visa cards, business credit Visa cards, and American Express cards all work with Android Pay. However, any MasterCard cards, co-branded cards, or Visa Commercial Credit still don’t work with Google’s payment system.
That leaves CITI Bank as the only major US Bank that currently does not let its cards work on Android Wear 2.0. It’s possible this is due to some kind of security concern by CITI Bank, but it does seem odd it is the lone holdout among the other major banks that support Android Pay on both smartphones and smartwatches. Hopefully this bank will change it mind and add Android Wear 2.0 support for its card on Android Pay in the near future.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread the issue is. The Android 10-bas
