Introduction
What are SmartTags?
SmartTags use your device's NFC capabilities to trigger instant actions. For example,
they can activate multiple settings on your device, launch an application, turn on the
Wi-Fi® function on your device, or link to a web page. You can also use a SmartTag
as a personal business card.
SmartTags also offer pre-set scenarios designed to get you started quickly. For
example, if you're going to sleep, one tap of a SmartTag can launch your Alarm
application, set your phone to silent, and turn off all the applications that you don't
need, such as Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® and GPS.

NFC detection area
The location of the NFC detection area in a device can vary depending on the device.
You can swipe an NFC tag against the back of your device to detect where the NFC
detector is located. For more information, refer to the User guide of your device.
Smart Connect
You need the Smart Connect application to be able to read and configure your
SmartTags. The application comes pre-installed on all Xperia™ devices.
If Smart Connect is not installed on your device, you are automatically routed to
Google Play™ to download the application when you touch the tag to your device.
