NFC
Introduction to NFC
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables short-distance wireless communication. Through NFC's contactless communication, two devices can transfer data in real time when they are within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other. In addition to data transfer, NFC also allows you to make payments.
NFC
123 456 789
NFC can be used in multiple scenarios with different requirements and methods.
Point-to-point mode: Transfers data between two NFC-enabled devices within a short distance. No pairing is required and a more secure connection is established.
Scenarios l Transfer files (such as images, apps, and contacts). l Quickly establish a connection between devices (like Bluetooth pairing or hotspot sharing).
Limitations 90
Device Connection l Both devices need to support NFC. l During data transmission, devices must be within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other. l Screen must be on and unlocked when using NFC. Read/Write mode: Supports reading and writing NFC tags. ScenariosCheck product information with NFC tags. Limitations l Cards and products must support reading and writing NFC tags l Read and write/P2P must be enabled on the NFC settings screen if available. This feature may vary
depending on your carrier. Card emulation mode: Allows your Phone to act as a smart card so it can access mobile ticketing for public transport, and mobile payments. Scenarios HCE emulation: Allows your Phone to act as a QuickPass-enabled bank card by associating your device with a physical bank card in a banking app. Limitations HCE emulation: For example, UnionPay Cloud QuickPass. First download the app for your bank card and associate your card with the app. For details, consult your bank's customer service center. Then enable NFC, set a specific bank app as your default payment app in NFC while keeping the screen on and unlocked. To make Cloud QuickPass payments, your card and the POS device must support QuickPass.

Introduction to User Data Protection
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in a memory card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
112
Security and Privacy of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data. When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted memory card files, or other features to encrypt photos, personal information, or other personal data, others cannot gain access to your data unless the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are simultaneously cracked.
Not all devices support memory cards.
