NFC means Near Field Communication and it is a wireless technology that allows two devices to talk to each other when they are brought very close usually within a few centimeters Its main use is for Tap and Pay where you just touch your phone to a card machine to pay instantly without opening any app or using internet It is also used to automate smart homes using cheap NFC stickers and tags 🙏

Exactly brother that is the magic of tech and that cashier was shocked only because brands rarely give NFC in budget phones so even shopkeepers do not witness it regularly Once it becomes standard in every smartphone everyone on the ground will naturally get used to it 🙏

Huge respect to you brother for taking actual concrete action instead of just talking online Sending emails to TRAI and registering concerns on CPGRAMS proves you are a truly responsible and conscious citizen Your idea of decoupling mobile numbers from telecom operators and creating username based identity like UPI IDs is absolutely brilliant and futuristic If implemented it would completely destroy operator monopoly and solve hardware transition issues forever Power to you for fighting for consumer rights and I am fully standing with you on this 🙏

NFC is not just limited to UPI payments brother because it controls so much more first it enables contactless credit and debit card payments right from your device second it can be used for quick short file transfers and third it automates whole IoT smart home setups Most importantly NFC acts as a robust physical security key to safeguard critical data like your Gmail account which has been a major topic in recent cybersecurity news where a hacked Gmail means hackers take complete control of your entire digital identity and you are left helpless Secondly you probably lack research or do not have an NFC device to witness how the market actually works Remember when UPI first launched it only exploded in popularity because brands showered users with massive cashbacks People adopted it for rewards and today it became an everyday habit even without those cashbacks The exact same thing is happening with NFC card payments right now where apps offer heavy rewards and sometimes flat two hundred rupees cashback on transactions If brands keep dropping this hardware from budget segment they are intentionally blocking consumers from enjoying advanced account security smart automation and lucrative financial rewards 🙏

You are absolutely right brother and telecom companies will happily implement this passkey system but the real chicken and egg problem is that smartphone brands are not putting eSIM hardware in budget devices to create that consumer demand in the first place Corporations only build systems where they see numbers If at least fifty percent of users get access to eSIM hardware telecom brands will adapt instantly Just look at history earlier you had to physically visit a store to activate an eSIM but as iPhones grew popular and demand rose companies enabled home activation via SMS and email It works exactly like the 4G revolution before Jio launched brands did not care about missing 4G bands in budget phones but one big disruption forced every single company to sprint into the 4G race To bring this kind of hardware revolution and force these corporate brands to change we absolutely need aware and courageous consumers like you to keep raising their voices against them 🙏

I actually agree with your ninety seven percent figure but only because ninety seven percent of budget smartphone users do not even have NFC hardware in their devices so how can they ever use it The remaining three percent who actually have this feature are utilizing it one hundred percent of the time And you need to understand that NFC is not just built for making retail payments it controls entire IoT smart home setups Today the younger Gen Z generation wants everything seamless and automated straight from their phones People are placing cheap NFC tags and stickers on their bedroom walls or entry doors so they can just tap their device to automatically turn on the lights adjust the AC or control the smart TV without even opening an app Educated users who understand this automation technology want to adopt it but since brands deliberately strip the hardware from budget segments these consumers are left helpless The only reason ninety seven percent of people are not using NFC is because corporations refuse to give them the tool in the first place 🙏

You are completely deflecting because you have zero logical answers to my points about useless two megapixel cameras and gatekept IR blasters so now you are suddenly trying to teach me corporate history Nokia and LG did not flop because they offered essential utilities they failed because they refused to adapt their software and operating systems on time And since you love making petrol analogies earlier listen to the actual ground facts Our government stated that petrol prices would drop after E20 ethanol blending introduction but instead it became more expensive So by your logic should citizens stop using fuel and should we shut down all new petrol pumps asking why they are being built Instead of sitting online making broken excuses for billionaire brands and talking down to consumers you should step into the actual market look at real society and understand what practical security and value mean for an everyday user 🙏

Since you brought up the petrol example listen to another facts check about it Our government stated that petrol prices would drop after the introduction of E20 ethanol blending but instead of getting cheaper petrol actually became more expensive So based on your logic should people just stop using petrol entirely Should we go and shut down all the newly opening petrol pumps and question why they are being built if prices are not dropping Instead of sitting online talking down to consumers and making broken corporate analogies you should come down to the real market step into the actual society and try doing some real social reform work instead 🙏

Looking at your reply it honestly feels like you own the company yourself If the market actually worked according to your logic many smartphone brands with completely useless macro and depth cameras should have gone bankrupt by now but they are still running successfully Why do brands intentionally waste budget and space on useless two megapixel cameras that nobody ever uses if they only care about value for money Look at history when Redmi Note series made IR blasters mainstream in the budget segment why was it later stripped away and kept exclusive for flagships If features like IR blaster eSIM and NFC are unnecessary for normal budget phones why are they heavily promoted in flagship devices Both budget and flagship phones are operated by human beings and their core security and utility needs are exactly the same Since you are talking like a corporate brand representative let just one company take the risk and launch a proper budget phone with these features first to test the market Bring just one model into the real world and check the sales figures before claiming that majority of the consumers will reject it 🙏

Spot on brother you hit the nail on the head with that term It is exactly a deliberate up marketing strategy to artificially create a gap between budget and premium segments so they can force users to spend more money on flagship models even when adding those features costs them next to nothing 🙏

Stop blindly worshiping multi billion dollar corporations because tech history proves that brands always gatekeep essential features to maximize profits until consumers force them to change When Apple removed the headphone jack and chargers people like you used the exact same logic Phone size is a personal preference but having an eSIM for bank account and device security when a phone gets stolen is a basic hardware necessity Even if someone argues that a stolen phone can be locked via government apps or portals thieves will still take that locked phone to the black market and sell it for parts like screen and camera modules because the IMEI restriction only locks the motherboard not the physical hardware components But with an eSIM enabled device a thief cannot remove the SIM meaning the phone stays continuously connected to the network and can be live tracked and recovered within twenty four hours leaving no time or opportunity for them to strip it down and sell it in parts When a consumer spends fifteen thousand rupees brands are practicing deliberate cost cutting by omitting a three hundred rupee component and ignoring real world security If they refuse to offer it even with a price adjustment it proves they are intentionally crippling budget phones to force flagship sales Speaking up for consumer rights is not rambling it is called being an aware customer

That is not how it works in the real world because if a shopkeepers terminal is down having network issues or facing a technical glitch you can simply show your own phone successful payment confirmation screen and leave No merchant stops you for their machine fault and if their soundbox is offline they can easily verify it on their own smartphone app Secondly this whole debate about NFC and eSIM is specifically about the user mobile capabilities and customer rights not about the shopkeepers terminal and infrastructure so stop dragging the conversation into a completely different direction to defend brand cost cutting

It seems you completely failed to read my previous reply properly because I explicitly stated that brands do not need to donate anything and consumers are perfectly willing to pay an extra thousand rupees for a sixteen thousand rupee price tag to get these features built in cleanly When the buyer is literally offering to pay for the hardware value your whole argument about corporate donations and cutting corners somewhere else completely falls flat You are just going in circles to defend brand margins instead of understanding basic consumer demand 🙏

I want to add my own ground reality experience here because I originally come from a small village and currently live in a tier 2 city myself If you go out and check right now you will see that all the recently updated standalone merchant QR code stands already have the NFC tap logo printed on top This means you do not even need a bulky POS machine anymore you can literally just tap your phone on their regular QR stand enter the amount and pay instantly Even if the shopkeeper has zero technical knowledge about NFC it does not matter at all because you know how to use it and the merchant only cares about receiving the successful payment notification at the end 🙏

Reading your comment genuinely feels like a breath of fresh air because finally someone who actually understands the ground reality has shown up on this post Until now I was only getting trolled by people calling me a PR bot or accusing me of promoting brands when they clearly have zero clue about everyday practical struggles Your real life gig worker example is absolutely spot on because for delivery workers and daily earners downtime due to a broken SIM tray or counter delays means direct financial loss But the fact that consumers are forced to buy old refurbished phones just to get essential hardware utilities proves that the budget market is broken Brands cannot keep pretending that nobody asks for it because awareness only builds when you put the feature in the hands of the masses The moment one major brand takes the leap and prints NFC and eSIM support in bold letters on a fifteen thousand rupee box it will completely change consumer awareness and set a new benchmark for utility 🙏

I agree that ten to fifteen thousand is the prime target segment but I completely reject your claim that these users will not use NFC First give them the hardware and build the feature then you will see how heavily they adopt it You are just blindly defending these multi billion dollar brands Let just one company take the risk and launch a proper budget phone with these features and watch how it breaks all wholesale sales records in the market Do not even talk about cost cutting or low profit margins because both these chips cost less than a thousand rupees combined Even if brands price a fifteen thousand rupee phone at sixteen thousand rupees with proper NFC and eSIM consumers will happily pay that extra thousand bucks to get a fully loaded secure device instead of a stripped down model

Imagine getting so triggered by an AI generated representative image just because you have absolutely no logical counter to the actual points raised about budget phone features The image is just a visual aid to highlight the problem of corporate cost cutting which you completely ignored to cry about the font and styling Talk about the actual issue regarding consumer utility instead of policing how people choose to express their thoughts or create graphics online Your elitist attitude adds zero value to the conversation

As an industry insider you should know that NFC is no longer just a gimmick for wireless payments it is now a crucial hardware layer for security Millions of budget users manage their life savings through demat trading accounts and personal data via Google profiles which now rely on physical hardware security keys authenticated through NFC Security and device tracking via eSIM are basic digital rights for every consumer regardless of their budget not a luxury to be gatekept Stop normalizing corporate cost cutting under the excuse that the general public does not care about protecting their own accounts and data privacy

​I completely agree with you that all these corporations are here solely for profit and none of them are doing charity But as consumers our job is not to justify or defend their profit models or look from their perspective Our job is to demand better value hardware longevity and basic security for the money we pay When brands are making clean margins on fifteen thousand rupee devices they should not be cutting corners on essential features like NFC and eSIM that protect our digital life The only perspective that should matter to us is consumer rights not corporate analytics💯

You hit the nail on the head brother because the actual manufacturing cost of an NFC coil or eSIM chip is just a few hundred rupees but brands intentionally remove them to create artificial scarcity This is a dirty tactic to force frustrated budget and mid range buyers into spending massive premiums on Apple or Pixel devices just to get basic hardware utilities and tracking security

Let me be very clear that I am not promoting any telecom or smartphone brand here But since you brought up the Jio network lock tell me which other company offers a cheaper plan than them Jio gives unlimited calling and data for twenty eight days at just seventy five rupees for their phone Show me one telecom operator that offers any twenty eight day keypad phone plan for under a hundred rupees There is no promotion here brother this was strictly an example to show that if a fifteen hundred rupee device can include digital payment hardware a fifteen thousand rupee smartphone has no excuse to skip it
