NO NFC on Chinese Version AL10 P9 Plus

It was mentioned in another post that the Chinese variant of the P9 Plus. I'm making another post just to help others from making the same mistake as I did. I totally bought this phone （AL-10) expecting it to have NFC and was quite disappointed to find out the phone didn't have NFC . I tried to return the phone the next day, but of course, Chinese return policies aren't quite as flexible as North America. I was totally pumped to be able to use Android pay.
I wonder if the phone NFC capable but the Chinese version of EMUI somehow has it disabled at the software level? AL-10)

Thanks! I already read that post. But I was wondering if the NFC is perhaps just disabled on the software level. I know sometimes OEM's can disable phone features at the software level even though the capability may be present in the hardware.
My options at this point are to just tough it out and have no NFC/Android pay, sell the phone and but the international variant, or wait for Huawei to come out with a smartwatch that has NFC and pair it with the phone.

Anyone here with the VIE-AL10 model can tell me the frequencies available on the phone ?
I would like to know from inside the phone itself, where there is the option to activate and use the different frequencies, what is available. I found different specifications on different websites and even the Huawei website does not list the VIE-AL10 . I want to make sure that I will be able to use it in the USA and in Europe as well .
Thank you very much
Thanks .

Wowwwww. I made the same mistake. (side note I also can't seem to get force touch to work). Android pay is sort of a deal breaker for me. Very disappointing the Huawei website didn't seem to indicate this model would not have NFC. I think I might try to resell it. Really lame.

Really??? Dang. I wish that would be explained clearer somewhere. Guess I'll check that off my list of features. I think know I'll look for the version of the P9 that has NFC since I like that size more.

Mi8 NFC or No NFC?

So, does the Xiaomi Mi8 from GearBest have NFC? Because I was this close to buying a Mi8 but then I've noticed that in the product page the specs didn't show NFC but there are other listings who show NFC in the specs!I need NFC in my daily life. Bus and train pass, college dorm acess and etc.
Mi8 GearBest this the one that I was going to get.
Mi8 GearBest this one in the Q&A page says it has NFC but it doesn't on the spec sheet
Mi8 GearBest this one has NFC in the specs sheet
The other listings don't even mention NFC
​
I don't get it.. Should I just get the version I want and it will come with NFC regardless or some versions have it and others don't? I'm really confused by this
Also, I'm in Portugal. Is there any difference in getting the Global, International or even the Chinese/English version of the phone (power brick, ROM, phone model)?
Thanks

no, you'll get google pay only when using a costum rom like xiaomi.eu that explicitly supports google pay.
I can confirm xiaomi.eu's google pay work perfect.

Sorry mate, but google pay does indeed work on the stable global rom. My bootloader is locked tho.

Does it or does it not have NFC?

I am confused, as gsmarena.com says it does, and if you go on to honor.co.uk and look at specs it says it has NFC.
On the other hand if you Google Honor Play NFC nfc.com says it doesn't have it, and sellers on aliexpress,gearbest,etc. say no NFC.
Which is it?!

Doesn't have... Confirmed with honor

this is a a copy paste from the Aliexpress seller's page. Could it be it doesn't have it in China?

Let me make it clear guys, there are 3 versions of Honor play.
1. COR-L29 which is the GLOBAL variant and has NFC + wideVine L1 level DRM
2. COR-AL10 which is the Indian variant and does NOT have NFC, also only has WideVine L3 level DRM
3. COR-AL00 which is the Chinese variant and just like the Indian one does not have NFC and only has WideVine L3 level DRM.
I hope this solves your queries.

You could use this app, to check whether your phone supports NFC or not.

Thanks, but when I get my phone I'll be able to see in the settings I guess. Unless this app shows a "hidden" NFC? Is that even a thing?

I don't think hidden NFC is a thing. Also yes you would be able to see the NFC within the settings, it if your phone has it. I have a COR-AL00 variant and I do not have NFC, but it's strange that Honor was supposed to ship Indian variant but they are shipping AL00 which is Chinese? I got this information from gsmArena probably they messed something up.
Everything is very unclear, honor needs to be a little more transparent.

It's a bit embarrassing for Honor that having spent time working out how their site works it's impossible to download the manual - you get the poor english "sorry no search result" when you try.
Maybe the manual is available for other regions. I can't post URLs but you could try at hihonor.com, then the path global/support/phones/honorplay

Hi there, mine is Cor-l29 and have NFC. It's the global version.

So I got my phone is the 6GB version COR-TL00 and unfortunately it doesn't have NFC. not a deal breaker for me though. Otherwise the phone is great.

How to check and activate NFC

Guys i have a redmi k20 pro Indian model which i got during alpha sale in India and now i have unlocked bootloader and flashed hovoc os running on it but my question is, when I checked for NFC in app i get this message saying NFC is present but not activated on my device.
I searched on forms and people say that some units might have been shipped from China to meet the demands so if my unit is also from China maybe i have NFC and i want to know how to activate that.
So my question is how to activate this NFC if it's present?
Image attached below for reference.
Any info on this will be much appreciated. Thanks

Indian units don't have the NFC coil. Just ignore that false positive.

try to flash one of the global roms available, if your device has the nfc hardware, it'll get unlocked on global.

It has never been shown for definite that Chinese models were sold in India. In the first few days after launching, a small number of people claimed they had working NFC after flashing the Chinese ROM, which led to the speculation that maybe some Chinese units were moved to India to cover demand. However it has never been verified that anyone did actually have working NFC on the earliest Indian models.

I did flash China miui 10.3.6 or 10.3.16 which i don't remember correctly but it showed the NFC but when i activate it doesn't activate and deactivates and closes the settings also same happened with EU miui so i guess it didn't work out. I flashed both rom via miflashtool

Question magisk(nfc) module on note 12 pro plus?

I bought a Chinese redmi note 12 pro plus and downloaded Indian firmware on it, but nfc does not work, who can suggest a magisk module that allows you to enable nfc. I will be grateful

Wait till the 23rd of the month (or about then) when the global rom will be out, that should enable NFC natively

I've got Chinese version of Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus and I am able to use NFC with no issues in UK, just change the wallet to HCE wallet in your NFC settings (once you enable NFC). Unless India's firmware is limiting it. I kept the original chinese version and will not update to global once released, I see no reason for it.

I don't think any modules will work without rooting the device and I haven't seen a way to do this yet. Due to it's SOC there will be less support for this handset as a generality, unless people support one of it's variants due to be released
