Hi have the Honor 8x and I have to say for its money its a damm good phone and has feature that phones that are triple its price, so I was very happy when I heard that a honor 9x was coming to our shore, but after reading the specs, I am very disserpointed that it will have no NFC this I been using on my honor 8x and cannot live without, so I have to give the honor 9x a miss and will not be purchasing it, I think Honor have made a big misake leaving this fuction out.
