What do the symbols NFC and SYNC refer to in the pull down a Samsung galaxy J5 MOBILE phone 2017 and should i have them enabled or disabled

Hi @1wexford

I have NFC turned on because I use Samsung and Android Pay.

I also sometimes use NFC tags at Bus Stops to pull up bus times etc.

If you do not intend to use similar services then turn it off to save a little bit of battery.

Keep SYNC turned on as this ensures all your accounts such as google , gmail etc are synced.

Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²² Ultra 256Gb.
Samsung Gear s³ Frontier Watch.
Samsung Galaxy Watch⁴ Classic.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
I have no affiliation with Samsung.
