Sony Ericsson planning NFC Android phones with chip from Nexus S

June 16th, 2011

NFC support has been conspicuous by its absence in Sony Ericsson’s recent Android handsets, but that looks set to change in the not too distant future. NXP Semiconductors has announced that it will be supplying Sony Ericsson with NFC hardware “for inclusion in its Android-based smartphones.” Specifically, it’s the “NXP PN65 NFC solution” which is basically a combination of the NFC radio chip itself, the embedded secure element, and the company’s software. That will allow Sony Ericsson phones – with the right SIM – to use the new mobile payments systems, such as planned in the UK for launch later this year.
