How exactly does that work? Especially with the new machines that require you to put your card in so it can read the chip instead of swiping.

This is going to sound a lot more complex than it is, so I apologize in advance.
The primary difference between traditional cards with just the magnetic stripe and the new chip and pin cards is the way that the transaction is processed. The old magstripe cards, at the end of the day, are just programmable cards that are no different than a hotel key card. Sure, there are protections in place with the CVV/CVV2 number, debit pin, etc...but it all boils down to a card reader taking IIN and PAN info from the magstripe then processing the transaction. When terminals do things like ask you to verify your zip code, its reading data from that magstripe, asking you to confirm it, then *hopefully* cross checking that info with a third party AVS before processing the payment.
With chip and pin systems, that same type of data is being transmitted - ie IIN and PAN numbers, the data just takes a different form. Instead of being transmitted via magstripe, the data is stored and transmitted via integrated circuits built into the card through the chip, based on the standards established by Europay, Mastercard, and Visa (affectionately known as EMV in the industry.) Instead of being transmitted in plaintext via the magstripe, encryption can be used to transmit and authenticate the transaction details, making it much less vulnerable to fraud unless the merchant's entire payment processing system has been compromised. Partial compromises, like hackers stealing CC info from a database, are less dangerous because the info is encrypted and nearly impossible to use without a key.
Now, on to Android/Apple/Samsung pay. Once a card is added to a Pay app, the card number itself typically is not going to be saved. Instead, a unique token is generated that can be used in place of the credit card number, and payment systems treat it the same as it would a regular card number. This has many benefits, but the primary one is that it protects your card information from merchants and hackers alike. This token cannot be used without a a security code, which is based on the phone and card info, so even this information is stolen, its completely useless. Instead of replacing the card, you just generate a new token and a new security code.

The EMV chip and pin (or chip and signature) standard can be used in conjunction with NFC, and MST can be used if EMV and NFC are used together. Generally, for Pay apps, tokenization via NFC solves the issue with chip and pin cards. Now that the fraud liability has been placed on merchants instead of the credit card companies, businsses are moving to payment terminals that support NFC and chipped cards. As far as MST goes, as magstripes are used less and less, MST will hopefully be repurposed or eventually go extinct.

V10 is nice, but that Edge display and the camera on the Edge plus gives it the 'edge' over the V10.
Plus when watching videos on the V10 there was way too much buffering and the videos weren't crisp.

What can anyone tell me about phones with dual sims? What are some decent phones that have this feature? Does t mobile support that?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The only phone that comes to mind is the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. They have two versions and one happens to have dual sims. You'd have to buy it outright though...They have them at $680 on eBay but swappa had a few go for under $600 recently. Missed out on one for $510 the other day. I'll probably get one by the end of January if the price is right and decide if I want to keep it or stick with the 6P
I'm assuming it would be supported on T-mobile since it's GSM unlocked and you could probably just get 2 pre-paid sims with different numbers and switch between the 2
Edit- the regular Z5 also comes in a dual sim version for around $550

I believe both sims are active at the same time and you can choose which one you want to use. But it depends on the phone... I remember reading an article and the main sim uses 4G and has Internet while the secondary sim basically stays on 2G and is used for calls and texts. I think it was the Zen Phone 2 though so it's probably different with other phones.Here's the article I was talking about

Anyone in here have the Note 5? How is the latest version of Touchwiz running on Marshmallow? And how is the camera?

^ I don't have the Note, but from what I gathered from the reviews I saw, it runs pretty smoothly and has one of the best cameras. if not THE best camera right now.
the main feature from the Note that I wish my phone had is the stylus. phones are getting bigger and bigger every year. I feel like every phablet should come with one at this point.

If you can get it for sub-$200 then it's a steal, especially if it's your first wearable tech.
