Revision history [back]

I recently heard about the Turing Phone ( https://www.turingphone.com/) and the specs indicate that it will be powered by SailfishOS 2.0 (although with their own Turing Æmæth UI).

This looks very promising and somehow right in the spirit of SailfishOS (privacy and user control while the FairPhone 2 as user-tinkering and Open spirit).

One detail bugged me though: specs also indicate NFC (NXP) whereas it is obviously not supported until now (reserved for TOH on the Jolla Phone and absent from the Jolla Tablet).

Will there be an API that allows us to develop NFC applications? If yes, is it a SailfishOS provided interface or is it specific to the Turing Phone?

Edit : Question remains open with the Sony Xperia X F5121 (the exact reference supported by Jolla) containing the hardware for NFC. In this case, will NFC be available as an official Sailfish OS API ? Will it be available (additionally or only) to Android application ? Will it be unofficially accessible through libnfc or another standard API ?
