What is NFC?
Near Field Communication (NFC) allows users to communicate with another device without connecting to a network. This technology is used by Android Beam and certain payment apps.
Furthermore, it is an advanced technology that is used in contactless cards. The most common use of NFC technology in smartphones is to make payments easily through Samsung Pay. NFC can also be used to quickly connect to wireless devices and transfer data with Android Beam.
