NFC
Use Near Field Communication (NFC) to share data with other devices, such as
videos, photos, web page addresses, music files or contacts. You can also use NFC
to scan tags that give you more information about a product or service as well as
tags that activate certain functions on your device.
NFC is a wireless technology with a maximum range of one centimetre, so the
devices sharing data must be held close to each other. Before you can use NFC, you
must first turn on the NFC function, and the screen of your device must be active.
The NFC detection area is located on the front of the device. Hold your device close
to another device or an NFC reader so that the NFC detection areas touch each
other.
NFC may not be available in all countries or regions. Using certain apps, some NFC functions
can be enabled even when the device is switched off. Note that not all devices support this
feature.
