What is NFC, and what is it for?

NFC or Near Field Communication is a technology that has been gaining its presence in mobile phones. And it is that there are several applications of this connectivity, all of them beneficial when using the smartphone.

Before explaining what it is for, let’s first see what NFC really is. It is a short-range, high-frequency wireless communication technology with which information can be transmitted between two devices equipped with an NFC chip.

On the one hand, NFC connectivity can be active; that is, the two devices have this chip, and both generate an electromagnetic field to exchange information.

On the other hand, NFC connectivity can be passive, which means that only one of the devices has the chip and is responsible for generating the electromagnetic field that the other device will also take advantage of to exchange data.

Now that we know what NFC is, it is time to find out what this technology is for, gaining much importance in the mobile phone market.

In the first place, the best-known use of NFC is for mobile payments since it is extremely convenient to pay for a purchase in a store with your smartphone. Either through Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or the applications of your bank, paying with your mobile is a great advantage, and it is possible to enjoy it thanks to NFC.

Another handy application of this wireless communication technology is to transfer files between two nearby devices. Just by activating the NFC and bringing the phones closer together, you can share images, documents, and audio, among other types of files, in just a few seconds.

Those are the two most popular uses for NFC right now, although other unknown features are also worth discovering. For example, you can use NFC keys to reinforce your privacy, read your electronic ID, or configure NFC tags to carry out the actions that you choose.

In short, the applications of NFC connectivity are many; that is why we recommend having a mobile with this feature to take full advantage of its applications that, as you have seen, are many and very interesting.
