List of devices support HCE?

Question

As more and more devices have KitKat, I'm trying to compile a list of devices support HCE.

Does anyone have the list? Feel free to add comments to contribute to this list.

Below is what I have so far:

Notes:

• Not all KitKat devices support HCE.

• To detect HCE support, use this code snippet:

  boolean isHceSupported =
      getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature("android.hardware.nfc.hce");
  

• Some people reported that KitKat HCE phones has "Tap & Pay" in NFC Setting. I don't know if using "Tap & Pay" as HCE detection method is valid because "Tap & Pay" can mean Tap & Pay using internal SE. It doesn't have to be HCE.

• Phones with Broadcom NFC controller will support HCE.
• Phones with NXP NFC controller may/may not support HCE.
• Or use this Android app to detect HCE & NFC controller type.

Support HCE:

• Sprint Note 3 (Broadcom)
• Sprint Galaxy S 4
• Nexus 5
• Nexus 7 (2013)
• Moto X (source)

Do not support HCE:

• T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (NXP)
• AT&T Galaxy Note 3
• Nexus 7 (2012)

Answer 1

I beleive All handsets with Android Kitkat, having NFC, supports HCE.

Based on above, here is the list returned by gsmarena - currently 77 handsets.
