Most Smartphones users have connected to another Smartphone or
device, such as a wireless headset, using Bluetooth before, or have at least
heard of the concept. Bluetooth can connect to devices up to 32 feet away, yet
near field communication can connect to devices at a maximum distance of 4 centimeters
on average.
Why is NFC so exciting if it is so limited in range?
Unlike Bluetooth, NFC can interact with another device with a

Bluetooth connections take time and require many steps to activate. With such a
close range between devices required, the potential for signal interference or
hackers trying to steal your data is reduced. Let's go a bit deeper.
With the current trend of its presence in almost all major
Smartphones, you should be able to handle it well.
