Receive with NFC
Receive web links, e-coupons, brochures, maps, and more
from an NFC tag. Look for the NFC logo on posters, signs,
store displays, and other areas. Touch the back of your
phone to the logo to receive its tag information.
Bluetooth & Wi-Fi one-touch setup
Touch the back of your phone to an NFC-enabled Bluetooth
device or Wi-Fi access point to automatically pair or
connect with the device.
Mobile payment
You can use any secure payment app to pay for your
purchase (where available).
Look for the NFC logo to confirm that you can make a
mobile payment. Touch the back of your phone to the
payment device to pay for your purchase.
Security
Mobile payments, wireless connections, and content sharing
all demand security:
• Range:
NFC only works over a short range (about 4
cm/1.5 inches), so it’s unlikely you’ll connect by mistake—
if you did, you would still have to accept the connection
to send or receive information.
• Encryption:
Your phone uses the latest security,
encryption, and authentication features to protect your
personal information for mobile payments and content
sharing.
