About NFC

NFC (Near-field communication) is a wireless communication technology that enables the
exchange of data between devices. NFC-enabled devices support three modes of operation:
card emulation mode, reader/writer mode, and peer-to-peer mode.

In card emulation mode, your device can emulate contactless smart cards (such as bank, transit,
and access cards). Reader/writer mode allows you to scan NFC tags (for example, you can scan
an NFC tag to top up your transit card), and peer-to-peer mode allows you to quickly transfer
music, images, apps, and other content between two NFC-enabled devices.

You can download banking, payment, and other apps that support NFC to make contactless
payments and turn your phone into a mobile wallet.
