Talking about the battery life of this latest sound box, it has a battery backup of 10 days. Along with this, it supports high speed 4G network. These sandboxes in the market are similar to Google SoundPod and PhonePe's Sound Box.

Let us tell you that after the ban on Paytm Payments Bank, Google launched its SoundPod for UPI payments in the Indian market. These boxes have been designed to work like Paytm, which have a QR code on the top, after scanning which users will be able to easily make UPI payment.

New soundbox will also work as POS machine

The new Paytm Soundbox now comes with an embedded NFC reader that can be used to accept payments from any credit card, debit card or NFC-supported Android smartphone. The biggest advantage of this new soundbox of Paytm will be that after placing it, no seller will need to keep a POS machine, because its work will also be done by the new soundbox of Paytm.
