Bluetooth is one of the oldest communication technologies between devices, but recently NFC technology appeared, which made users puzzled especially when buying a new phone, especially since there are many similarities between Bluetooth and NFC and below we show the most important differences and differences between them as follows:
The difference between NFC and Bluetooth:
NFC technology works at speeds much lower than Bluetooth, but it consumes much less power and does not require pairing, with devices.
In terms of range:
NFC is a weak radio signal, so it only works when you’re near it, i.e. when the two devices touch each other, Bluetooth can work for 300 meters and the ideal distance 100 meters.
Speed of pairing:
NFC is faster in pairing and not transfer speed, as there is no need to pair two NFC devices with a passcode, and to transmit data, all you need to do is to make two NFC-supported phones close together and the data is transferred automatically.
Data transfer speed:
Bluetooth is faster to transfer data, as Bluetooth 5.0 can transfer data up to 48MB / s, while NFC can do a few kilobytes per second at the best.
Pay by phone:
NFC payments are accepted in a number of countries, but on the other hand, Bluetooth technology does not support mobile payments.
