vivo smartphones allow you to read Near Field Communication (NFC) tags that contain product information, and you can also use functions such as mobile payment, identity verification, transportation card value-adding, transportation card balance inquiry, data transmission, and application sharing.

The battery contains an NFC antenna. Handle the battery carefully to avoid damaging the NFC antenna.

1. Before using this feature:

  • Check the location of the NFC antenna on your phone and other devices.
  • Make sure NFC is enabled on your phone and other devices you want to connect to.
