These 4 smartphone OEMs have less NFC support now than in 2015

A near field communication (NFC) chip is a simple-but-powerful tool inside most smartphones. Using NFC technology, smartphones can process mobile payments, easily communicate with other devices, and make setting up a new device — such as a router or Bluetooth peripheral — incredibly easy.
Since NFC chips are small, cheap, and give you these incredible features, you’d think including them in a smartphone would be a no-brainer. However, according to the most recent Mobile Overview Report from ScientiaMobile, four leading smartphone manufacturers have actually reduced support for NFC chips in smartphones since 2015. This is very curious since most other manufacturers are increasing support.
The four OEMs that have reduced support for NFC are Xiaomi, LG, Alcatel, and Oppo. Check out the chart below for reference:


The chart makes it clear that almost all major smartphone OEMs are increasing support for NFC, including Apple, Samsung, Sony, Motorola, and Huawei. Google now ships 100 percent of its phones with NFC support (which isn’t too surprising considering how few devices Google releases).
According to the chart, though, LG only supports NFC on a little more than half of its devices, Alcatel a little more than 12 percent, Xiaomi a little less than nine percent, and Oppo unbelievably only supports the technology on three percent of its devices.

Having root access also allows you to run an entirely different class of third-party applications and apply deep, system-level modifications. And by proxy, you may also be able to access certain device features that would otherwise be inaccessible or use existing features in new ways. Having root access isn’t the end all-be all of device modification–that title is usually reserved for fully unlocked bootloaders and S-Off. That said, root access is generally the first step on your journey to device modification. As such, root access is often used to install custom recoveries, which then can be used to flash custom ROMs, kernels, and other device modifications. Root access also enable...

Android phones have not been traditionally known for their great cameras. That all changed with the launch of the  Google Pixel and subsequent  Pixel 2 . Now, everyone is trying to match that same level of quality. It turns out, a lot of the Pixel magic has to do with the  Google Camera  application. Users have been working on porting this camera to other devices. This list is an attempt to catalog the best working ports. Note : This is not a list of the most recent or most feature-packed ports. We tried to find the most stable and user-endorsed versions. There may be “better” versions available, but the ports listed here should work for most people. Important:  Some of the linked threads below may not be from the listed device forum. This is not a mistake. Many of the ports work on multiple devices.
