The Chinese mobile wallet, Alipay has partnered with mobile phone manufacturer Huawei to launch a one-second QR-based feature on the Huawei P9 and other devices with fingerprint recognition capability, a development it hopes will not only encourage adoption of mobile-based payments through its mobile wallet but will also eclipse Apply Pay's Pay, launched 2016 , which some experts believe focuses too much on hardware. In the evolution of payments, consumers will not adopt mobile-based payments for the sake of it, but will find Alipay’s mobile wallet leading them to make the change. In addition, Apply Pay's allows payments without a PIN, up to RMB 2,000 ( 76 ) with a guaranteed fraud protection, and up to a maximum of RMB 1m ($ 76 ), compared to Apply Pay's threshold of RMB 500 ($ 76 ).
