TL;DR
- Google has quietly confirmed that all Pixel 11 Pro Fold models support the FeliCa contactless standard.
- It also looks like all Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro models outside the US support this standard.
- FeliCa is a contactless standard that’s popular in Japan for payments and transit.
NFC is a staple on most Android phones today, allowing you to easily make wireless payments. However, Japan has its own wireless payment solution dubbed FeliCa, which requires dedicated hardware in the phone. The good news is that Pixel 11 phones now offer much better support for this standard.
Google’s support page reveals (thanks, Dylan H!) that the Pixel 11 Pro Fold supports FeliCa globally. Furthermore, the page shows that Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro models outside the US also support FeliCa.
