NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a
short-range wireless communication
technology that allows you to make simple
transactions, exchange digital content
(also known as NFC tags), share large
multimedia files (via S Beam), and connect
electronic devices with just a touch. Your
phone contains the NFC technology that
allows you to use services and features that
require NFC capability.
Note: For more details on NFC-related features
and sharing options, refer to the User Manual or
online Virtual Guide.
