Samsung And Visa Partner To Launch NFC-Equipped “Olympics Phone”

Rumors have been floating around for a while now that Visa and Samsung had something special planned for the Olympic Games next year. With about ten months left before the games kick off in London, Visa has formally confirmed that they are building a special phone for the Olympics and that it will, in fact, have an NFC chip. Pocket Lint confirmed the phone with Sandra Alzetta, Visa Europe's head of innovation and new product development, at the Visa Europe Security Summit in Frankfurt, Germany. She added that the phone will be "iconic," and packed full of special Olympics content. As far as availability goes, the phone should be on shelves before, during, and after the Olympic games globally, rather than being a UK exclusive. ]]>
