Default 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.

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.

It will likely support UPI-based payment option since it is the most popular mode of payment in the country. OnePlus Pay is seen as first major attempt by OnePlus to break into services business. Smartphone makers such as Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi have also begun turning their hardware into a stream of services revenue.
