Infinix, part of Transsion Holdings and a popular smartphone maker, has introduced a new patented NFC technology (near-field communication), called ‘720-degree SphereTech NFC.' This new technology is said to offer better performance than current NFC technology by providing a better signal range and a larger card reading area. However, Infinix has been tight-lipped about which smartphones will feature this technology, so it is not possible to tell when end users may see this in devices.

What It Means For NFC Technology At Large?

It must be noted that Infinix states that this 720-degree SphereTech NFC is a patented technology, and according to the company, it has the ability to double the signal strength and increase the card reading area by 200 percent. As a result, this minimises card reading failures.

“Our commitment to innovation and understanding user needs has driven us to create a solution that not only enhances functionality but also provides unparalleled security and convenience for our users,"  Li Cao, Senior Manager, Infinix, said. 

"The 720° SphereTech NFC significantly improves the mobile experience in NFC applications, offering seamless, reliable, and secure interactions from multiple angles,” he added.

Is NFC A New Technology?

At the moment, Infinix has also been tight-lipped about the specifics of this technology, and hasn't laid out a detailed explanation.

Having said that, it must be noted that NFC isn't a new technology; in fact, it has been used since a long time. Some of the first smartphones in the world to use this feature were: Nokia C7 and Samsung Nexus S.
