NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that lets you
exchange data with other devices, including a web page address, a music file, a
contact, or a link to an application on Google Play™. Using NFC, you can also scan
special tags that give you more information about a product or service.
To scan or share a tag, you have to hold the NFC detection area of your phone right
over the tag or next to the NFC detection area of the other device. The maximum
reading distance is about one centimetre, which helps prevent unauthorised
communications.
NFC may not be available in all countries and/or regions.
