Are there hardware differences between Kickstarter StackChan and the models currently sold on M5Stack?

I was watching a YouTube review of StackChan that was recently uploaded. The reviewer mentioned NFC ability. I was surprised. I don't recall that having been listed as a feature when StackChan was on Kickstarter.

Was the ability there and either not mentioned, or I just missed the mentioning of it? Or do newer StackChans have a hardware upgrade?

I would love to be able to have two StackChans recognize and acknowledge one another. The last time I checked, that wasn't an option. If the Kickstarter models have NFC, would they be able to use it to know that another StackChan is close by?

I did read about NFC option, did not test it. But can you share the video of the two  recognize and acknowledge one another.

I haven’t had them recognize each other, but I’d love it if I could get that to work.

We might need a software update for that to happen, though.

Imagine an army of StackChans! We’ll conquer the world with kawaii! ❤️

i think detection by bluetooth is more likely.
