For a handsfree calling experience, connect the headphones, which are supplied in the kit. The SBH52 is NFC enabled. Simply touch the back of your phone to the back of the handset to start up and connect. The SBH52 is optimized for Android. At Google Play, you will find a selection of app extensions which make it even more feature rich.

Sony SmartWatch 2: The world's first Android-compatible SmartWatch with one-touch NFC is the perfect second screen for your Android smartphone. Not only does it enhance existing phone functionality, it also offers unique new benefits in a compact, touchscreen form factor.

You don't need to reach for your phone to read messages, check the time, view and make social media updates, use your favourite apps, take photos, listen to music and play mobile games. 

Sony SmartTags NT3: With NFC SmartTags you can make lots happen in seconds. Multiple phone settings and actions can be triggered with one touch of a Sony SmartTag. You can also use SmartTags to initiate multiple actions in your smartphone. For example, turn on your favourite Christmas playlist! Hang a SmartTag on your Christmas tree and touch your smartphone on it. It's like magic!

SmartTags are fully customizable. Using the Smart Connect app, you can decide exactly what happens when you touch a SmartTag on your phone. Share a link, initiate a call, open an app, start several smartphone functions, open your email client, start Wi-Fi – you decide. Events can also be based on time periods, for example if you touch a particular tag in the evening, you may want your phone to behave differently than if you touch the same tag in the morning.
