Have you ever tried to use bluetooth and mess with the settings just to send a picture? Have you ever been in a hurry to unlock your car but you are still searching for the keys? What about if you are lazy to swipe or type your security lock in the morning just to check on your emails? Well, then what do NFC got to do with it then? Well NFC is is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few inches. In most smartphones today, their back covers can have a small soft-touch pad with contacts on the underside of the back cover. They are the NFC "anteanas". Anyone with those simlar things to can establish something called beaming when being touched to the anteanas. They can send small amounts of infomation like sending a picture, a URL link etc. Using your phone as a key is possible that way.

Hey guys! Long time no see, here i am back with the tech news for today that i'm really excited about. Jiayu, a widely popular chinese manufacturer in shengzhen, has made one of the most affordable Full HD (1080p) and powerful phones out there! It will be a competitor to the HTC One, Galaxy S4 and Xperia Z but thanks to its Snapdragon 600 Processor, it would blew those other OEMs away with this one just like the Xiaomi MI2S (chinese OEM)! I guess China phones are not all about knock-offs of other products now! So are you intrested? lets take a look under that metal body frame of the 5" beast!

This is pretty much a high-end spec device targeting at a price of just 1999RMB (310USD)! Although the only thing i'm afraid of is that 32GB memory. I am a power user so i'm quite hungry for storage space hence needing a SD card expansion slot to flex my daily use. Also 4G isn't included but nevertheless, this phone makes a great choice for those who wants a great super high end affordable phone! I would consider buying the iOCEAN X7 Elite, which uses the MTK processor, with this!

Its soon ready for preorder in Mid-October!
