Sometimes on phone reviews I read that a certain model, often one released in a Western market, uses NFC for payment. In my country, mobile payments use QR codes so any phone with a camera can use them. Does NFC have any advantage over such a system?


I wish more things would use NFC. My mom has old bluetooth speaker from like 10 years ago or older, even I dunno, but it has NFC tap to connect, and it’s so convient. I dunno why more bluetooth devices don’t have tap to connect. Like others have said, NFC is mostly used in the states for contactless payments and stuff, which is convient but I mostly just tap with my card, not even pulling out my phone since I always have my wallet on me.
