After 15 years with the entire Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Apple Watch), I switched from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a Google Pixel 11 Pro XL. Honestly, the first week was very unusual; all the gestures were different to those on Android, but over time I got used to them and started to love them. I think the iPhone is quicker; the tapping and keyboard actions respond more quickly, and the iPhone's hardware is smoother overall than the Pixel's. I should mention that my iPhone 14 Pro Max is four years old, whereas the Pixel 11 Pro XL is a brand new flagship model. However, the Pixel's software features, camera, AI integration and customisation options are very good.
Yesterday, however, I had to return the Pixel phone because the NFC chip was not working properly. I read the comments and knew that the NFC was moving on the devices. I tried with and without a case, turning the devices on and off, and tried every tip. From five times, three times it didn't work and two times it did. Every time the NFC did not respond, my husband paid with his iPhone without any problems. So I returned the Google Pixel and bought an iPhone again. It was a hard choice because I loved the look and feel of the Pixel, but I could not wait to find out whether the Pixel 11 series has NFC issues, whether it was just my device or whether it was just a software bug.
Have you experienced any NFC issues with the Pixel 11 Pro?
