Infinix has announced its latest advancement in near-field communication (NFC) technology, introducing the innovative 720-degree SphereTech NFC. This new technology aims to significantly enhance both the signal radius and card reading area of NFC-enabled devices. Although the company has yet to disclose which smartphones will feature this technology, Infinix asserts that SphereTech NFC will resolve common issues related to transaction failures and card readability, ensuring a smoother and more reliable user experience.
In a recent press release, Infinix highlighted that SphereTech NFC is a proprietary and patented technology developed in-house. This cutting-edge NFC technology is designed to double the existing signal range and expand the card reading area by 200 percent. Li Cao, Senior Manager of Infinix’s NFC Department, stated, “Our dedication to innovation and understanding user needs has driven us to create a solution that not only enhances functionality but also provides unmatched security and convenience. The 720° SphereTech NFC significantly improves mobile NFC applications, offering seamless, reliable, and secure interactions from multiple angles.”
Infinix’s new NFC technology is expected to provide enhanced signal coverage and stability, ensuring smooth performance from any angle. The company claims that smartphones equipped with SphereTech NFC will be capable of completing transactions through taps on the front, back, and top sides. While Infinix has not provided detailed explanations of the new spatial layout, signal compatibility, and material type configuration, it emphasized that the primary advantage of this NFC implementation is the reduction of angle limitations and the enhancement of transaction reliability.
NFC technology first appeared in the Nokia 6131 in 2006, with the Google Nexus S becoming the first Android smartphone to feature NFC in 2011. This technology enables smartphones and other devices to quickly exchange data by bringing them into close proximity, typically used for transactions at retail touchpoints.
