S-Beam uses NFC (A-Beam) to pair and then uses WiFi direct to transfer. Was that the answer to the question?

Can you explain a little more where they differ? from what i saw looked like nfc to me.

I assume that if you install the official cordless charging kit you will lose all NFC features. Kellen, can you confirm that this is correct?

I think you are wrong. To use S-Beam you need two S3 (or maybe some future Samsung updated device). Many devices can be used together using Android Beam (including the GS3.)

Idk I’m going to try that though. Probably not though that’s what wifi direct is for.

don’t really see why not. S beam is just Android beam which is NFC chip. GNex has Wi-Fi direct. Probably just need the apk for the camera for share shot. Same for the allshare.

doesn’t requier everyone to have an S3. S3 or Gnex or any phone that has NFC, which i hope will be most phone from now on.
IMO, NFC seems more versatile and faster then IR. You can program your phone to do things by putting nfc stickers around your house. Theres a lot more applications for it on a number of levels.

So do any of these features work with the Nexus? Considering they are both Samsungs?

More and likely not. Hopefully someone will see the appeal of making a cross platform app and push that to the market.

S Beam reminds me of a glorified version of the ‘infrared transfer’ we had on our Palm Pilots 10 years ago. I used it a handful of times when I first got it to ‘beam’ business cards to colleagues, but it always seemed a bit gay and I never used it again. Plus as others have pointed out, it requires everyone to have an S3. With the exception of iPhones, I’m hardly ever in the company of two or more people that have the same cell phone model. That actually surprises me now that I think about it, but it’s a testimony to just how many freaking types of devices that are out there.
