not too sure about local nfc will work

mayhe someone will help who own Japan set

I check with the seller, he mention working with 5G, gpay like sg set..

See the review also no complains

Check Google specs comparison between SG/JP set, other than cam sound + FeliCia for JP set, the rest are the same.

Gpay is tied to NFC so he mention gpay no issue working here. NFC is quite standardise protocol isnt it??

If you look at Japan model under Network, the only difference is that it has FeliCa which is literally sort of like ezlink and that is probably why it would work with payment system over in Japan which you need..

What kind of transactions can the Japan set work for, while in Japan? i.e. what does FeliCa do? Is it can take Japan transport just like a ICOCA or SUICA?
