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 touch, 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
from your favorite apps to select content to share via
