Security-wise that is significantly worse. Google Pay generates a random card number per transaction and isn't active when the phone is locked.
I keep my credit cards in an NFC blocking sleeves because the passive NFC can't be turned off. Someone could literally bump into you and cause a transaction.
Correct, but unfortunately I've found myself less likely to lose my phone than my separate wallet 🤦
Bummer. Maybe there will be more options when Android 15 launches, it is adding the option to choose the default wallet app.
