NFC on some Honor 6X models?

[mart567]

I found two reviews that state that the Honor 6X has NFC.

"You even get NFC at this price, and full compatibility with Android Pay, which is impressive."
(Their picture of the 6X seems to show an NFC symbol on the screen.)

"NFC is here too for Android Pay – certainly not a given in this price – and there’s a new Wi-Fi bridge feature that’s supposed to let the phone act as a repeating if you struggle with poor wireless reception at home."

What's the deal? My 6X doesn't have NFC!

I didn't think the 6x had NFC. My wife has one, I'll have to check here later. Maybe it's available on the international version?

Just checked....No NFC on US version

Thanks for checking William! Mine is also a US version without NFC.

I'd love to know if there are non-US versions out there with NFC. It seems odd that Huawei would include NFC for just some versions, but I guess it is possible.

My understanding was that the European version would have it.... and a couple of links that confirm it.

Are different features for different countries a common practice with phone manufacturers?

It seems really odd and it is very disappointing that the US version doesn't have NFC when the UK version does.

Interesting, any reason why Honor would choose not to include/include based on regions?
