Presentation just ended. I didn't see any mention of 120Hz screen but I don't speak Chinese. If it doesn't have that I'm not interested tbh.

Is anyone regularly using NFC, and if so, what for?

Posted: 13 Apr 2018 08:58 AM PDT

Android Pay would be the big one, I'd imagine. What else are you guys using it for? Any amazing real-world applications that I'm not thinking about? Tasker automations maybe?

I had the idea of grabbing some NFC tags and building them into leather goods, but I'm struggling to think of reasons anyone would actually want that enough to pay an additional charge on it, aside from maybe the novelty. Maybe novelty is enough of a bonus for a little marketing, but I'm not sure if there's any benefit outside of that.

Just curious if anyone is regularly using it with some cool "tap phone on X to do Y" function.
