S Beam
S Beam uses your device’s NFC (Near Field Communication)
to send, or “beam”, content to other NFC and Wi-Fi Direct
devices, by holding the devices close together.
S Beam works in the background. Use the sharing options
from your favorite apps to select content to share via
S Beam. For example, you can beam pictures or videos from
Gallery, songs from Music player, notes from S Note, and
more. Just bring the devices together (typically back-to-
back), then tap your screen.
