Nfc And Payment; Nearby Device Scanning - Samsung Galaxy A12 Manual

NFC AND PAYMENT

Settings > Connections > NFC and payment
Near Field Communication (NFC) allows you to communicate with
another device without connecting to a network. You can transfer
pictures, contacts and other data to a device that also supports
NFC and is within 4cm of your device.
This technology is used by some payment apps like Samsung Pay
and Google Pay as a contactless way to transfer funds and make
payments. NFC transfers are encrypted, highly secure, and can
help speed up the checkout process at locations where NFC is
supported.

Nearby device scannning
This platform enables a reliable and easy way to share your
pictures, files, links and other content across devices that
are running Android 6 and up even if they are from other
manufacturers. Content will be shared via Bluetooth Low Energy
which will allow Nearby Device Scanning to work even if you are
offline.
For added protection, you can set your preferred visibility so that
you don't receive files that you haven't asked for.
