NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It is a short-range, high frequency data transfer technology that makes use of electromagnetic induction between two devices and can deliver information at a faster rate than bluetooth.
It is usually used with electronic small chips in the mobile phone, which contain all the required information (such as credit cards numbers, ID cards, etc) with them. The NFC chip in your device can be used to pay for goods or services without needing to handle your credit card or cash. All you have to do is scan the NFC tag of your smartphone on an NFC terminal and guarantee that your NFC contactless payment app has been in operation.
NFC tags are more commonly known as FRID tags (Radio Frequency Identification), although they are not limited to this type of technology. In this article we will explain more about NFC in LG G4.
