Google Expands FeliCa Support to Pixel 11 Pro Fold Worldwide, Excluding US Pixel 11 Models

Summary
Google confirmed all Pixel 11 Pro Fold models now support Japan’s FeliCa standard globally, while Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro gain support in markets outside the US.
FeliCa requires dedicated hardware for payments, transit and access keys, and Google had previously limited the feature to Japan even though Pixel phones abroad already carried the needed components.
US versions of the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro still appear to lack FeliCa support, leaving the broader rollout incomplete.
The change means travelers and residents no longer need a Japan-bought Pixel for FeliCa services, and it could signal wider adoption after reports that international Galaxy S27 phones will add support too.
