Of course, the Android Pay is advancing. In fact, Google is diligent in improving the productivity and utility of the Android Pay. However, the current pace of its expansion is perhaps, little bit sluggish. After all, there are many emerging nations such as India, where Android Pay is still unavailable.

Meanwhile, Google released a new payment platform dubbed as Tez (Meaning Fast) exclusive for India as a substitute for the Android Pay. Although, the UPI enabled Tez is pretty good, whether it can hold a candle to the mostly accepted Android Pay is questionable. By the way, it indirectly hints that the Android Pay won’t be available in India so soon.
