Finding a phone’s NFC location

The position of the NFC reader in the BAGTAG Flex is indicated with markings on the edges of the screen. Depending on which brand of smartphone and which model you are using, the NFC antenna may be located somewhere else on the device. You can search online to find out where your phone’s NFC location is.
Extra tip: remove your phone protective case to improve the NFC- connection between your phone and the BAGTAG.
