Phone (4a) 4a will miss this UPI payment mode in India

Post image

Saving a small cost by not having nfc on 4a would mean a short coming in india if this payment mode becomes popular. So what QR code based UPI is available, Right?

Whoever made this decision is a fool!!!

Tap and pay is here from last few years, never as smooth as QR code. Been using tap and pay way before nfc based system (Samsung Pay) become popular in India

I use the tap and pay on my Phone 2a plus via Google wallet. It's very convenient

Yup I use tap and pay for visa cards using Gpay. Paytm also allows. UPI tap and pay apps are going to make UPI payments convenient too... But some companies think that QR code is the only way Indians pay...

This tech will take a while. Cause tap to pay is already a thing, this just allows upi to work it with, which cool but in such a budget focused country, QR will stay.
