Released on Martch 30, OnePlus 9 Pro now have received lots of fans around the world. It offers all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a flagship smartphone right now. It has a premium design, a 6.7-inch 120Hz QHD display, a camera collaborated with Hasselblad to take the most natural-looking photos, and a Snapdragon 888 chipset combined with 12GB of RAM. However, today we’re going to talk about IR blaster and NFC, somewhat niche features for a smartphone in the top-end flagship market.

So, the first question, does OnePlus 9 Pro have IR blaster? The answer is no. Though Many Chinese phone brands still kept IR blaster, OnePlus ditched this function as most brands in US and European countries.
IR blaster means “infrared” blaster. A smartphone with IR blaster usually have a rather small hole on the outer corner of the phone, and it can be used as a remote control, allowing you to control over various electronic devices in your home that are often disabled from Bluetooth technology.

How about NFC? Does OnePlus 9 Pro support NFC? Luckily it does. After all, nearly every high-end phone out there is equipped with NFC. NFC (Near Field Communication) is quite handy for transferring data between two devices, whether it is sending photos, videos, files, or making a payment.
To activate NFC, just go to “Settings” and select “Connected devices” and then “Connection Preferences”. Tap “NFC” and “Android beams” to enable it.
To make payments with your phone, you first need to enable one of the payment methods. Then hold the back of your phone close to the terminal till the payment is finished. If you want to share date between different devices, make sure both the devices have NFC and Android Beam activated. Hold the two of them together, and you’ll hear the audio feedback after they have detached each other and finished file transfering.
