Google on Wednesday released a revamped version of Google Wallet to keep the app alive following its imminent transformation into Android Pay, which began rolling out on Thursday. Google Wallet (New) also has a few capabilities that aren’t available in the about-to-be-promoted version. The original Google Wallet has been around since 2011. Its near-field communication capability lets users with compatible Android devices tap and pay for purchases at participating merchants.
