S Beam

Share more and share it faster with S Beam. From photos to documents, large video files to maps,

S Beam uses your phone's NFC (Near Field Communication) feature to send, or "beam", content to
other NFC devices.
S Beam works in the background. Use the sharing options from your favorite apps to select content
to share via S Beam. For example, you can beam pictures or videos from Gallery, or songs from
Music player. Just bring the devices together (typically back to back), and then tap the screen.
