Choose carefully
Here are a few tips:
To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses, use apps from trusted sites, like Google Play.
In Google Play, check the app’s ratings and comments before installing.
If you doubt the safety of an app, don’t install it.
Apps use up memory, data, battery, and processing
power—some more than others. If you’re not happy with how much memory, data, battery or processing power an app is using, uninstall it.
Monitor children’s access to apps to help prevent exposure to inappropriate content.
Certain apps may not provide completely accurate information. Take care, especially when it comes to personal health.

Receive with NFC
Receive web links, e-coupons, brochures, maps, and more from an NFC tag. Look for the NFC logo on posters, signs, store displays, and other areas. Touch the back of your phone to the logo to receive its tag information.
Bluetooth & Wi-Fi one-touch setup
Touch the back of your phone to an NFC-enabled Bluetooth device or Wi-Fi access point to automatically pair or connect with the device.
Mobile payment
You can use any secure payment app to pay for your purchase (where available).
Look for the NFC logo to confirm that you can make a mobile payment. Touch the back of your phone to the payment device to pay for your purchase.
Security
Mobile payments, wireless connections, and content sharing all demand security:
• Range: NFC only works over a short range (about 4 cm/1.5 inches), so it's unlikely you’ll connect by mistake—if you did, you would still have to accept the connection to send or receive information.
• Encryption: Your phone uses the latest security, encryption, and authentication features to protect your
personal information for mobile payments and content sharing.

Wireless display

Mirror your phone’s screen on an HDTV without any cords—with minimal setup.
Find it: Tap Apps >

Phone & tablet

Your Android™ phone and tablet can work together to help you get the most out of both:
• Transfer media and files: Copy files to your phone and transfer them to other devices—see “Transfer files” on page 52.
• Phone hotspot: If you have a Wi-Fi tablet, turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot to let your tablet access the Internet anywhere—see “Wi-Fi hotspot” on page 53.
57Connect & transfer
• Bluetooth® accessories: If you have a Bluetooth keyboard or other accessories to use with your tablet, remember you can use them with your phone too. To connect them, see “Bluetooth® wireless” on page 52.

Memory card

You can choose to use your SD card as portable or internal storage:
• Portable storage: Store your pictures, videos, audio and other media files. You can remove the SD card at any time and transfer it to another device.
• Internal storage: In addition to your media files, you can store downloaded apps and games. The SD card acts as an extension of the internal storage of your phone.
After you have inserted an SD card into your phone, you will be prompted to select either portable or internal storage.
