OnePlus Pay launching in India soon?

OnePlus Pay

OnePlus has been expanding its footprint in India over recent years. The brand forayed into the television market a couple of years ago and introduced the OnePlus Band fitness tracker and OnePlus Watch this year. OnePlus Pay is expected to be the next big service from the brand and it will likely launch later this year.

Separately, OnePlus recently revealed that it may soon add ‘Always-On-Display’ on the OnePlus Watch via an OTA update. The smartwatch already brings features like an AMOLED display, Warp Charge, 402mAh battery that is claimed to last up to 14 days, and 5 ATM water-resistance but misses out on ‘Always-on Display’ (AOD). OnePlus agreed that ‘AOD’ has been a much-requested feature but it didn’t find its way to the final product considering the feature may cause a 50 percent increase in power consumption.

The company has said the upcoming OTA update to the OnePlus Watch will allow users to customise the pre-set reply list to instantly reply to messages on the Watch. This isn’t currently available.
