What is NFC? Near field communication (NFC) allows smartphones and other enabled devices to transmit data from another device or an NFC tag — like an Xperia™ SmartTag — at close range. Simply touch the two together to establish an instant connection. It's like Bluetooth® without the need to program the two devices. Use with a SmartTag and your ion can perform a set of specific actions at home, the office or in the car with a simple tap.
