In a press release, the smartphone maker said that the new 720-degree SphereTech NFC is a proprietary and self-developed technology which has been patented. Describing the NFC technology, Infinix said it doubles the signal range compared to existing capability and increases the card reading area by 200 percent.

“Our commitment to innovation and understanding user needs has driven us to create a solution that not only enhances functionality but also provides unparalleled security and convenience for our users. The 720° SphereTech NFC significantly improves the mobile experience in NFC applications, offering seamless, reliable, and secure interactions from multiple angles,” said Li Cao, Senior Manager, NFC Department of Infinix.

The company claimed that the expanded signal coverage and stability will ensure a smooth and seamless performance from any angle. Notably, Infinix claims any smartphone enabled with the SphereTech NFC can be tapped on the front, back, and top sides to complete a transaction.

Describing how the NFC technology works, the company claims it was built with a better spatial layout, signal compatibility, and material type configuration. However, the company did not delve deeper into any of these technologies to explain the impact of these new additions. It did mention that the main advantage users will see with this NFC implementation is the reduction of angle limitations and more reliable interactions while making a transaction.

Notably, NFC technology was first seen in the Nokia 6131 in 2006. The Google Nexus S was the first Android smartphone to use NFC in 2011. The technology allows smartphones and other devices to quickly exchange data by touching them together. It is generally used to make transactions at retail touch points.
