It is not necessary to have a 600 euro mobile phone to be able to pay with Google Pay or other mobile payment platforms in stores or through the internet. Many mid-range and entry-level mobiles already have NFC connectivity, which is essential to be able to make payments between the mobile and dataphone or to be able to carry out actions through labels. For example, registering on a page or obtaining information on a product. Are you looking for a cheap mobile but with NFC connectivity? In this article I show you 5 models from 2020 that cost less than 200 euros and have this connection.
Xiaomi Redmi 8T
The Xiaomi Redmi 8T stands out for including NFC. It is one of the first devices in the Redmi range to add this function that allows payments through mobile. Therefore, we can download apps such as Google Pay or the specific application of our bank for payments in shops. In addition to including an NFC chip, it offers very good features, especially in the photographic section.
This mobile has a quadruple main camera of up to 48 megapixels, with a wide angle camera and two other sensors for macro photography and depth of field. In addition to this, it has a 13 megapixel selfie camera.
The Redmi 8T also packs an eight-core Qualcomm processor with up to 4GB of RAM, as well as a 6.3-inch screen with Full HD + resolution. Its price? It went on sale a few months ago for 180 euros for the most basic version and can now be purchased on Amazon for about 160 euros. It is important to note that the Redmi 8 does not have NFC, only the model T.

In addition, it has a larger battery: more than 5,000 mAh.
