<\/strong>Samsung<\/a> have introduced TecTiles, which are programmable NFC<\/a> stickers that will change your Galaxy\u2019s settings upon making contact with the stickers.<\/p>\n

Selling at $14.99 (R126.00*) for a pack of five, the TecTile stickers can be placed around your house, allowing a phone to be swiped across them and automatically changing your current settings to predetermined ones associated with the sticker.<\/p>\n

For instance, you could place a sticker on your steering wheel, and when tapping your phone it would activate Bluetooth, change your ring settings or any other features.<\/p>\n

Another example could include placing a sticker next to your nightstand, and tapping your phone to it could change your alarm clock settings, readying them for the morning.<\/p>\n

The stickers can also synch with social networks, allowing you to update Facebook<\/a> or Foursquare<\/a> with the swipe of your phone.<\/p>\n

The stickers use NFC (Near Field Communication), which is being utilised more and more from mobile phone manufacturers and devices.<\/p>\n
