NFC (Near Field Communication)
technology is a short-range, wireless
technology that lets you quickly and
wirelessly exchange information between
your phone and other NFC-enabled
smartphones, and smart accessories. You
can also use NFC technology to save, view,
create, or change smart tags.
To use NFC technology on your phone,
your phone must be within approximately
0.78 in. (2 cm) of the NFC-enabled
smartphone, smart accessory, or smart tag
that you want to exchange information with.
When information is transferred over an
NFC connection, your smartphone vibrates.
