NFC

Explore the world around you. Tap accessories to connect to them, and tap tags to call someone or open a website. Near Field Communication (NFC) makes connecting easy and fun.

Get started with NFC

Switch on the NFC features in your phone, and start tapping to share stuff or connect to devices.

With NFC, you can:

  • Connect to compatible Bluetooth accessories that support NFC, such as a headset or a wireless loudspeaker
  • Tap tags to get more content for your phone, or to access online services
  • Pay with your phone, if supported by your network service provider

The NFC area is on the back of your phone. Tap other phones, accessories, tags, or readers with the NFC area.

  1. Tap Settings > More > NFC.
  2. Switch NFC to On.

Before using NFC, make sure the screen and keys are unlocked.

Read NFC tags

NFC tags can contain info, such as a web address, a phone number, or a business card. The info you want is just a tap away.

To read a tag, tap the tag with the NFC area of your phone.

Enable NFC payments

You can use your phone's NFC to pay for your shopping.

To enable payments, tap Settings and switch Tap & pay to On.
