NFC

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that lets you exchange data with other devices, including a web page address, a music file, a contact, or a link to an application on Google Play™. Using NFC, you can also scan special tags that give you more information about a product or service.

To scan or share a tag, you have to hold the NFC detection area of your phone right over the tag or next to the NFC detection area of the other device. The maximum reading distance is about one centimetre, which helps prevent unauthorised communications.

NFC may not be available in all countries and/or regions.
