OnePlus Pay coming sometime next year, aims to replace your wallet
OnePlus has announced that it is adding a new payment feature to OxygenOS next. Called OnePlus Pay, the payment solution will serve as an alternative to mobile payment solutions offered by Google and Samsung. The plans to bring OnePlus Pay to OxygenOS was announced by the company at the launch of OnePlus 7T yesterday. However, the company did not share any further detail about the feature or how it will work on its mobile devices.
The Chinese smartphone maker made use of yesterday’s launch event to tease the upcoming feature. But, it did not provide any details as to how this feature will work. We do, however, know that OnePlus Pay will arrive sometime next year. “There is a very fantastic product we have been working on for over a year now,” Szymon Kopec, Product Manager at OnePlus, said during the launch. “Starting next year, you will no longer need your physical wallet,” he added.
