NFC or Near Field Communication could be sometime very beneficial but sometimes it is useful. It is all dependent upon the type of users. Like while you are shopping somewhere, you can just use your phone as a payment method or medium, just put your smartphone on the POS machine and you are done with the payment(yeah, you will need your phone’s security passcode too). But when you are not into much shopping it is ON for no work and additionally taking your battery too. Follow the below simple tutorial to learn how to Turn off NFC on Samsung Galaxy S20/S20+ or S20 Ultra.

Samsung Galaxy S20 series is the latest premium and flagship smartphone from Samsung. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S20 series i.e., Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra as its latest flagship family at the Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event in San Francisco, California.

NFC stands for “Near Field Communication” and, as the name implies, it enables short-range communication between compatible devices. This requires at least one transmitting device, and another to receive the signal. A range of devices can use the NFC standard and will be considered either passive or active.

NFC is a mainstream wireless technology, thanks to the growth of online payment systems like Samsung Pay and Google Pay. Especially when it comes to high-end devices and even many mid-rangers.
