S Beam

Share more and share it faster with S Beam. From photos to
documents, large video files to maps, you can share almost
anything instantly with one tap, simply by placing your

feature to send, or "beam", content to other NFC and
Wi-Fi Direct devices, by holding the devices close together.
S Beam works in the background. Use the sharing options

or songs from Music player. Just bring the devices together
(typically back to back), and tap the screen.
