JawaPos.com In this digital era, smartphones are required to have various supporting features that will make it easier for users. One feature that is much sought after is a feature called Near-Field-Communication or better known as NFC. Not only for checking e-toll card balances, checking and refilling electronic money balances, NFC will also facilitate the productivity of smartphone users.
Other functions such as sending and receiving data, sharing contacts, and connecting two devices can be done quickly by simply sticking the devices. In addition, NFC is also very useful, especially during a pandemic.
This is because the Covid-19 pandemic has forced the public to reduce physical contact between people, including the matter of paying in cash because exchanging money carries the risk of transmitting Covid-19. Reporting from the Ipsos Marketing Summit 2020, public enthusiasm for using the NFC feature has also increased with an increase in non-cash payments in Indonesia by 44 percent during the pandemic.
However, the existence of this sophisticated NFC technology tends to be embedded in smartphones in the middle class or flagship which are priced above IDR 3 million and cannot be reached by all groups.
Seeing these conditions, one of the newcomer mobile phone brands, namely Tecno Mobile, was inspired to bring NFC technology to their latest smartphones at very competitive prices designed according to the needs of today’s Gen Z.
“Gen Z is very synonymous with the cashless generation. Using non-cash payments is the choice of young people because it is considered more practical, safe, easy and efficient. This supports us to frequently innovate and design contemporary technology at affordable prices,” said Anson Xia, Country Manager of Tecno Mobile Indonesia.
