NFC
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless technology that enables data transmission between two
objects when they are brought within a few inches of each other. When you enable NFC on your phone, it
can exchange data with other NFC-enabled devices or read information from smart tags embedded in
posters, stickers, and other products. From the NFC settings menu, you can manage direct sharing and
pairing.
To turn on NFC:
1. Tap
> Tools
2. Tap the NFC switch
Note: When NFC is turned on, you can use the Tap & pay feature to pay for items just by touching your
phone to a reader at a register. If your device doesn't have a default app, you can browse Google Play for
other payment apps.
Android Beam
When this feature is turned on, you can beam app content to another NFC-capable device by holding the
devices close together.
For example, you can beam browser pages, YouTube videos, contacts, and more. Just bring the devices
together (typically back to back) and then touch your screen. The app determines what gets beamed.
