Infinix is famous for offering power-packed phones at relatively affordable prices. However, they have also been active in other sectors of technology. They are taking major steps in building an ecosystem and also have touted their phones with MagSafe-like technology. Now, Infinix has developed the 720° SphereTech which might turn out to be crucial in the field of mobile payments.

Infinix 720° SphereTech Overview

We all know NFC

We all know NFC, or at least have heard about it. It's a wireless technology that one uses to do all sorts of stuff like making payments, opening car doors, and in the case of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 installing a screen saver from the phone's case. For this technology, the device is embedded with a dedicated chip and software and allows for data exchange by operating at a frequency of 13.56 MHz.

Additionally, NFC is designed in such a way that it only transfers a really limited amount of data. This is because they are required to be power efficient and have a slow data transfer rate. However, that also turns out to be a drawback of the technology with an operating range of only a couple of centimeters. Moreover, it translates to having to align your NFC-embedded device pretty close to the reader.

Normally, a phone has an NFC chip somewhere around the back of the phone. This is why, the user has to stick the phone's back onto the reader whenever using the feature. As a result, using an NFC can be quite a hassle and bothersome task. Infinix realised this and developed the 720° SphereTech NFC technology. What this technology does is the same as a regular NFC, but better.

With the 720° SphereTech NFC, users need not worry about having to face the back of their phones to the reader. Infinix has increased the card reading area by twice such that you can use NFC by tapping the front, top, and as well as back of the phone. The company has apparently fiddled around with the material type of the chip and as a result, achieved a wider range and more optimal signal strength. Furthermore, Infinix has encrypted the technology with advanced protocols and layered it with multiple levels of authentication process to ensure users' data safety.

Infinix 720° SphereTech: Conclusion

It is undeniable that NFC is a very convenient feature. Thanks to it things like contactless payment, access to spaces without a physical key, easier ticketing, etc. have been possible. Now Infinix has taken it a step further by enhancing its range making it easier to use. Given its nature, the Infinix 720° SphereTech might turn out to be the golden standard for NFC technology very soon. We can expect to see this tech in future Infinix smartphones. Meanwhile, other companies might also emulate this technology and incorporate it into their devices. This is again, good news, as we as customers get to enjoy a convenient technology more easily.
