True on the main, but a lot of the Chinese manufactures omit NFC functionality because they don't use it (for payments etc). They have there own scan-able payment system by all accounts...
I have an Honor 9 Lite, brilliant phone, and I got that from Carphone Warehouse £149 about six months ago. I don't know how that compares to the 8x (I think the 8x is higher spec) but based on my experience, the Honor brand is just fine (it is a Huawei company) https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/review/budget-smartphones/honor-9-lite-3671709/
EDIT: CPW have the 8x as well £229 but no doubt it can be bought cheaper elsewhere.
Xperia xz1 for £199 on amazon. Its a lot of phone for the money. Has nfc
Stick a case on it: I have a cheapy silicon one (£1.90!), Mrs cheesyboy has opted for a Snakehive leather folder case for hers. And a glass screen protector on each.
