So, I’ve been thinking about upgrading my phone for a while now, and the Moto G 5G caught my eye. It seems like a pretty solid mid-range option, and the price is definitely right. But there’s one thing I absolutely need in a new phone: NFC. I use Google Pay all the time, and I’m not about to go back to carrying around a bunch of cards.
I started digging around online to see if the Moto G 5G actually has NFC.
- Firstly, I went through the official Motorola website. I found the Moto G 5G’s specs page and looked for anything related to NFC.
- Then, I checked some tech blogs and forums. Sometimes you can find more detailed information or user experiences there, which can be super helpful.
- After that, I even looked at some online retailers that sell the Moto G 5G. I read the product descriptions and customer reviews to see if anyone mentioned NFC.
After my research, I learned that whether the Moto G 5G has NFC seems to depend on the region where it’s sold. Some versions do have it, while others don’t. That’s a bit annoying, to be honest. Why can’t they just include it in all models?
Anyway, I’m not about to give up. I really want to know for sure if the model I want to buy has NFC. So I decided to contact Motorola’s customer support directly. Hopefully, they can give me a clear answer.
Contacting Motorola Support
I found their customer support page online. I decided to give them a call. After a short wait, I got connected to a representative. I explained my situation and asked them point-blank: “Does the Moto G 5G, specifically the model sold in my region, have NFC?”
The representative was nice enough, but it sounded like they were just reading from a script. They confirmed that the Moto G 5G does have NFC in some regions but not in others. They asked for the specific model number I was interested in and my location to check for me.
After a little back and forth, they finally confirmed that YES, the model available in my region DOES have NFC. Whew, what a relief!
I guess the lesson here is, always double-check the specs, especially if you have specific features you need. And if you’re not sure, don’t hesitate to reach out to customer support. It might take a little extra time, but it’s better than ending up with a phone that doesn’t meet your needs.
