MediaTek isFor public transport, you can disable authentication. I just double tap and the lock screen shows up and just tap.
I only use fingerprint authentication. For nfc payment, my lock screen has a gpay shortcut on the bottom left. So I double tap to go lock screen, swipe up the gpay and fingerprint scan and tap.
Speaking of nfc, the nfc chip works much faster than s24plus. When I tap the bus reader, it's almost instantaneous. On s24plus I had to wait a split while.
There are also forumers who reported having a better mobile signal strength on x8. The comms chip on x8 is tokong good
