I also wouldn't say Samsung Pay is 100% reliable due to the terrible setups some stores have (either the mag stripe reader not being customer accessible or the machine will just decline it as it's not processing something correctly) in the US. It works in Canada on non-contactless terminals with 100% reliability but I'm guessing thats because most terminals aren't customized and are just separate standalone terminals (So process everything correctly).
