What’s NFC?

NFC technology can allow us to pay our purchases safely in a shop simply putting our device next to the cash. It can let us share data easily and other security-related services from our mobile device. It’s possible that some of the problems to increase the popularity of this technology is that there are a few amount of shops with support for this protocol in every country, Android smartphones with NFC chip normally has a increased price, there are a few amount of apps that use it, etc… So, it makes many people don’t use it. However, it seems that finally something is changing and the NFC technology is becoming popular in the mobile telephony sector. The new Android smartphones are beginning to have NFC chips built by default. But most of the Android phones in the market do not have this type of technology and many users may not be able to use this technology today.
