I've just got a Huawei P30 (standard, not Pro or Lite) and realised it doesn't feature NFC - with no less than 4 wireless chargers in my house and 2 in my office. But I use Google Pay all the time - in many ways I rely on it.
I've done some Googling and I can't find much info about this - the closest I came was an article about wireless charging slowly damaging the NFC controller chip over time in a Nexus 7 due to a circuitry flaw.
Would adding a Qi adapter pad inside a case affect the data-only NFC on the device? With it not being a native feature, I can imagine there may be some safety drawbacks to the internal antenna and circuitry.
But at the same time, Huawei had an official wireless charging case available. So, maybe it's not a problem for the P30?
