Through technology NFC (near field communication) it is possible to pass any type of data from a transmitting device to a receiving device. One of the most common applications is that of payments: via the NFC chip on smartphones you can buy simply by passing the device on the POS, and you're done. But how do smartphones without this chip do? Xiaomi has found a way, already well-run in China, to allow his devices without NFC to make payments and is distributing it through an update right now. Like? Using the application Pay me.
Thanks to Xiaomi's native Mi Pay app, it will be possible to pay even with smartphones without NFC
In this article we told you what Xiaomi devices are equipped with this chip mainly used for payments, but we haven't told you which are not enabled.
Through an official announcement on the Weibo Xiaomi Mi Pay account (link in source) we learned that smartphones such as Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 5 and Redmi 5 can now also make mobile payments despite not having NFC. This will be possible because, once the bank card is added to the wallet of the application, Mi Pay will go to generate a QR code with which we can pay anything. This method is the most popular in China and India: wherever you go you will find gods tags with a barcode (QR code) associated with the business account. In a similar way, thanks to Mi Pay, it will be possible to do payments even without NFC.
As said, this function is currently being released (developer wing) only for the models mentioned and only in China. We are not aware if the use of this feature will also be extended to the global market but we are sure yes. After all, too with the Postepay app you can take advantage of a similar service.

Hi i just bought a xiaomi POCO X3 I would like to know if I can use the app Xiaomi Mi Pay
Hello Roberto. Here is what I wrote in the article: "As mentioned, this function is currently in release (developer wing) only for the models mentioned and only in China.".
Consequently it is not usable by us, at least not yet.
In any case POCO X3 is equipped with NFC, so even if it were you don't need this app.
