For in-person transactions Samsung Pay is better, cause it's accepted everywhere. For online there is Visa checkout integration being rolled out, so you will be able to use it online soon, but you will need to use a phone for that.

That said, it has gotten better over the last year. Unfortunately, based on my recent UK experience, we're still nowhere close to where we should be.

Eh, there are still a significant number of places in the US where every mobile wallet is basically unusable. (Mainly restaurants and gas pumps, but a lot of non-restaurants also don't really make their terminals/swipers accessible to customers either.)
