OnePlus Pay Announced, Coming in 2020
Sep. 27, 2019Chinese smartphone (andnow TV as well) manufacturer, OnePlus, hosted a launch event yesterday, where the company announced the brand newOnePlus 7Tand the OnePlus TV Q1 and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro. However, alongside those announcements, the company has also unveiled a new product its working on — a payment service, unsurprisingly called “OnePlus Pay”.
The payment service from OnePlus will compete against major smartphone payment solutions, including Samsung Pay, and Google Pay, both of which are widely used by smartphone users across the world, including in India. Competing against these services will be an uphill task for the brand, and if it actually is to compete against these platforms, OnePlus Pay will need partnerships with major banks, and, in India at least, support for UPI, the country’s unified payment platform that’s gaining more and more users every day.
We should get more details around OnePlus Pay over the coming months as the company prepares to launch it to the public, and we will be keeping an eye out on updates around the payment platform, so stay tuned for more updates about OnePlus Pay.
