NFC & QR Code Compatibility: Which Smartphones Work? [Updated 2025]

Which Smartphones Are Compatible with NFC & QR Codes?

📲 What is NFC & Why Does It Matter?

NFC (Near Field Communication) enables tap-to-pay and instant sharing via NFC business cards like V1CE. With NFC, you can:
✔ Tap to share your contact details effortlessly
✔ Make contactless payments via Google Pay & Apple Pay
✔ Connect with NFC-enabled devices like wireless speakers
💡 Fun Fact: NFC is like Bluetooth but faster—no pairing required!
