Xiaomi, OPPO, LG, and Alcatel have released less phones with NFC in the past 4 years

NFC or Near Field Communication is an amazingly useful technology that you’ll find on many mid-range and high-end smartphones. Using NFC, you can tap on other accessories like headphones to connect with them over Bluetooth. The recent edition of Mobile Overview Report by ScientiaMobile illustrates that four of the biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world have been lopping off NFC from their devices. These brands include Xiaomi, OPPO, LG, and Alcatel. Based on the available data, LG now offers NFC on slightly more than half of its devices, Xiaomi on only 9% of the models, Alcatel on 12%, and OPPO on merely 3% of its smartphones.
