Chinese manufacturer Huawei does not offer Android or other Google mobile services on its mobile devices. He doesn't even have mobile payments via Google Pay. However, the company brought mobile payments already into their smartphones with the system Harmony OS, through a well - known third party service. Will we see an alternative for smart watches from this brand?
Third party service and mobile payments for Huawei
Many of you are definitely familiar with the payment service Corners, and their ability to pay via Curve Pay. It is this method of the British company that Huawei also uses to its advantage, on its smartphones with the system Harmony OS. As the portal states fitit.sk, we could soon see this service in the smart watch segment from Huawei.
Huawei, as well as other accessories, is trying to promote more and more on the local Slovak or Czech market. And it is mobile payments that are a slight disadvantage for these watches, because they do not work outside of China.
NFC payments in Europe in the coming generation?
Fans can remember a similar situation with the Xiaomi brand and its Mi Band fitness bracelets. However, the sixth generation has already brought Curve payments also in our country, which significantly streamlined the use of this bracelet. However, back to the brand Huawei, whose current smart watches range in price from € 199. However, the NFC and functional payments do not even offer the equivalent of € 519.
Because the cooperation between brands Huawei a Corners already working, extending the functionality to a smart watch could only be a matter of time. After all, this is also confirmed by Roman Kadlec's communication from the portal fitit.sk and Curve, on the social network Twitter.
"We're checking it out, but we don't have a timetable yet." speaks the opinion of the company Corners, about the arrival of the service on a smart watch Huawei.
Yes, Huawei smart watch, equipped with a chip NFC, so far only support mobile payments in China. However, the plans to make the payment feature available in Europe are clearly realistic, and we could probably look forward to the upcoming, fourth-generation smart watch from Huawei.
