S Beam
S Beam uses your phone’s NFC (Near Field Communication)
to send, or “beam”, content to other NFC and Wi-Fi Direct
devices, by holding the devices close together.
Android Beam works in the background. Use the sharing
options from your favorite apps to select content to share via
Android 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), then tap the
screen.
