  • PSA - Felica(osaifu-keitai, japan transport card) is "available" on all pixel 6,7,8 and maybe 4,5

    I want to share what I've recently learned about the whole fiasco because its really stupid and more people should know about this. There is a common misconception that only jp sku pixels have the necessary nfc chip to make felica work. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The ability to use the felica network is present in every pixel device but isn't enabled in google wallet by default for non jp pixels. There is a mega guide with a few methods of getting around this restriction (all at least partially requiring root. I've used solution 2 but requires play protect cat and mouse game). Feel free to DM with any further questions or help with any part of the setup process as I wish i had.

    The Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 apparently does have the hardware/software needed for Suica, even on non-Japanese editions of the phone.

    However, it's blocked by Google in software depending on the device SKU (maybe because Google doesn't want to pay licensing costs?). If you have a rooted Android phone, you could bypass this check, see https://github.com/kormax/osaifu-keitai-google-pixel.

    Hopefully it means that a future version of the Pixel will officially support it world-wide, but who knows. Japan has one of the highest rates of iPhone usage in the world, so there's not much incentive to support Android users.
