I recently purchased a Honor 8x mobile phone (Model No.: JSN-L21) and I **** confused because it's suppose to have NFC capability but it doesn't. Can you explain why it doesn't?

The Honor 8X (Model No.: JSN-L21) does not have NFC capability because it is not equipped with NFC hardware. A user with the Honor 8X Max confirmed that the device does not support NFC, and there is no indication in the available specifications that the Honor 8X includes NFC functionality.
