Got the global version and even if NFC is on. Its not working. No Google pay or anything else...
I have the US version. Is that the same as the global version? I setup Google Pay and I tried to pay at Jersey Mike's (3 attempts) and each time the terminal gave an error "Please select only one payment card." My previous Pixel 4 XL worked perfectly at the same terminal. I'll have to test at another retail store to see if it works.

Thank you! I thought my nfc is broken and I have to RMA right away. I got the same thing now. Managed to scan nfc cards with an nfc scanner. I tried it at ALDI (german supermarket) literally nothing happened. But at another store it said the same as yours but more like "Only one card at once please". Like it detects mor than one nfc tag. Well I'm just glad its not hardware problems.

Still experiencing problems with higher distance. I was able to have my Galaxy S9+ about 10 cm away from the terminal and it worked. The Cards have to be hold right against the phone for about 10 seconds to get detected.

I'm going to try at another terminal and then I'll let you guys know here whether or not it works. My guess is we'll have to contact support and report it. Who knows if it'll ever get fixed though.

Guys I reported the issue to RedMagic support and sent feedback to Google Pay. I linked this thread for details. Not sure if it'll ever get fixed but it seems NFC works on this device, but sadly Google Pay is completely messed up.

I got the exact same error with NFC in North America. It says use only 1 card not 2. Payment is rejected. Same error all else have on North America / Global firmware. China ROM has no NFC settings available even though it has the same hardware...

Hello! I just found out out that NFC is not available in chinese models. Can anyone tell me if I can solve this by flashing an EU rom? Or there is no hardware for NFC at all? Thanks!
