That is nearly twice the weight of my OnePlus 7 Pro! That is a massive amount of batteries.
Yeah it’s a battery pack with a telephone strapped to it. In fact, it can be used as such: it’ll happily charge another device with a USB OTG adapter.
It’s heavy but I don’t mind. Actually I find it a lot more comfortable in my hand than a slim, slippery phone: this one has some meat to grab onto.
Still, I’m impressed by the battery life.

Does anyone have experience with NFC on iPhone SE (2nd gen)? I don’t care about read/write, just if it could light up an xLED.
Could be wrong but I tried to share my contact details with someone with a SE recently and it wouldn’t work, I’m guessing the SE doesn’t support background NFC scan
Likely still has a nfc module, but will only activate if you are running a nfc scan using a downloaded app
Thanks! I think some previous posts mentioned background scan not really providing enough power anyway, so hopefully it’ll work with an app
Background can provide enough power, it’s just infrequent

I can confirm the Pixel 4XL works. The NFC antenna is number 9. I have found that it works best on the right side, while looking at the back of the phone.

Great stuff thanks, I’ll update the list soon and link to your post
I can confirm my 2nd Gen iPhone SE is able to read/write with NFC Tools and can also do background tag reading. No issues with my NeXT (with some swelling and with a case! Was a little surprised when I got a good read with those two factors)

Updated and added thank you
Contact details and locations have issues on my SE gen2. However, links, email, text-to-phone numbers, social network info, and shortcuts all work well when written from the NFC Tools App. I can do some more thorough testing later this week.

Contact details are vcard, which Apple has turned off native reading
The question is will your SE scan something without using an app?
It sounds like from what I’m reading, the SE requires an app to read or write tags, no background scan
I’m pretty sure anything pre iPhone Xr doesn’t support background scan
Never heard of that brand before, I’ve been looking at their site and I’m liking their phones. What made you go with that one over any of their others?
Unfortunately Rosco declared he was leaving recently so he may not respond.
I do remember him talking about the battery life as being a big feature of that phone.

No, the SE2 can background scan just fine.
This is it reading my NeXT

Samsung S20+ works well without a case with my XSIID just above the Samsung logo on the back. No luck through an otterbox yet though
It’s entirely possible it’s the XSIID’s lower range, but that’s the only chip I have to test with right now. Good to know people are having success with it though
Edit: It also seems they have the 21+ as well, not the 20+
