NFC is a hardware component that needs a Secure Element Identifier (SEID) chip, so its down to the spec of the phone, not where it was bought. The better (more expensive) phones, such as the Redmi Note Pro versions or the POCO phones have it.

The Chinese brands (some of which are not so cheap anymore) run on the same operating systems with the same updates - Android. So its more likely to be the blocking or restriction of Chinese products by the EU or specific companies than a general software restriction. Most banking, security, ID, and...

Bourse sees foreign outflows of B68.9bn in first quarter Foreign investors sold Thai stocks worth 68.9 billion baht in the first quarter, including 41.2 billion in March alone, attributed to the delay in expected US interest rate cuts, economic conditions and weaker operating results of listed Thai...

Yes, we all know that eating out there (and most of Europe) is more expensive so posting restaurant bills from fancy pubs is pretty pointless. Groceries have always been cheaper there for me (especially in certain shops such as Aldi and Lidl). But that said, I haven't been for two years, so haven't ...

Chiang Mai again world's most polluted city Chiang Mai led other cities as the most polluted place in the world on Tuesday morning, as thick smog continued to plague the northern region. Chiang Mai municipality regained its spot as the most polluted city at 9.20am, with fine dust levels recorded at...

This happens every time there is a hike, punish the petrol users to try and keep diesel down. We've stopped using the state-owned PTT stations following reports of skimming on fills and lower-grade fuels. They keep their market share due to the monopoly on the 7-Elevens, and Thais love their 7-Eleve...

You should always perform the factory reset before handing over or dumping any mobile devices. If she's nice (and doesn't want to hack your bank accounts) maybe you can instruct her how to do it. It would also be better for her not to have all your settings, accounts, and apps on it and have a clean...

Carabao owns CJ, and they're in direct competition with CP/Chang/Singh, which is a good thing. I was told that they're running a promo on their beers for Songkran. Still a shame that the small breweries have to charge so much for their products and availability is limited due to the monopolies' cont...

PM scotches '21 days of water fights' rumours The Tourism and Sports Ministry has been instructed by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to clear up public misunderstanding over the duration of this year's Songkran festival. Mr Srettha said on Monday that Tourism and Sports Minister Sudawan Wangsuphaki...

Prachuap Khiri Khan: The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives aims to make the Singkhon border crossing in Muang district a permanent checkpoint between Thailand and Myanmar to improve the transporting and trading of farm products, including fisheries goods. Minister Thamanat Prompow said that a...

Yep, I also need a headphone jack for plugging the phone into an amp and playing music when Bluetooth speakers won't cut it. Other essentials that are being phased out are a dedicated microSD card slot which the higher end models don't have. There was very little difference between the one I ordered...

Got the regular "mai mee" in MV when asking about POCO phones. Even though it is the same company, the Xiaomi shop doesn't sell them so ordered online through the official store on Laz. Impressive that you can get 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage on a mid-range phone as standard these da...

I'm amazed that if it needs a bespoke charger and won't work with a standard one ... why didn't it come with one? As you say, very Applesque

Watched the first episode of 3 Body yesterday, and it is loosely based on the narrative in the trilogy's first book, though the order of events is a little mixed up. However, the characters are way younger and way better looking which has probably been done to keep the attention span of the Millenni...
