Setting up NFC on your Vivo phone

Paying for purchases is a simple action that everyone has to perform several times a day. With the development of high technology, users are beginning to forget about paper money, paying with cards, because thanks to this method it is not necessary to look for the necessary change and wait a long time for change from the seller. But even this option gradually gets boring, because plastic cards must be constantly carried with you and pulled out of a remote pocket at the right moments.

Therefore, people are trying to make their lives even easier by paying for purchases through their mobile gadgets. In this article we will discuss an interesting topic for many people: setting up NFC on the Vivo phone. It will be useful for absolutely all users, as this feature is being introduced in new smartphones more and more often.

Why NFC is needed

Vivo smartphones with NFS do offer users a lot of new possibilities. Near Field Communication is a modern technology for contactless payment for various goods and services. It has some similarity to the already familiar Bluetooth, but the essential difference in this case is the NFC work only at a short distance from the object. This, of course, cannot be called an advantage of the development, although it is quite convenient to use such a function.

So, what can be done with the NFS:

• to pay for public transportation;
• to pay for the goods in the supermarket;
• transfer data between devices.

To perform any of these operations, you only need to attach your smartphone to the terminal.

Types of external modules

NFC on Vivo is not always present. But almost everyone wants to use this function. And there is a solution to this problem.

Available today are external NFS modules. They are presented in different forms, but any variant performs its task fully and without criticism from the user. To date, these elements exist in the following forms:

1. SIM cards. The most affordable and easy-to-use option has only one significant disadvantage. It is the lack of identification of the owner, which reduces the level of security.
2. Tags. The compact circular discs are attached to the body of the device and are easy to set up. As for the disadvantages, only the need to purchase separate tags for each option of the gadget is noted here.
3. Antennas. Simple designs are mounted under the housing (half of the antenna is on the surface), due to which they are more reliably held. They provide a complete package of options and do not require additional settings. Of the negative aspects it is worth noting only the high power consumption of the device.
