SPECIAL STICKER WILL ALLOW NFC-LESS ANDROID PHONES TO USE GOOGLE WALLET
Though it hasn’t been officially announced, during the Q&A session at the Google Wallet press event, Google mentioned it would be releasing a special sticker that will act as an NFC chip and will let NFC chip-less phones work with Google Wallet. This is a good move on Google’s part as the company said most Android phones in the future will support NFC technology but that’s a year away at least.
The sticker would have just one set of credit card information attached to it. So, unlike the way Google Wallet with a built-in NFC chip works, you would not be able to attach different loyalty accounts, use Offers, and so on. It would basically be just a way for you to make purchases with your smartphone.
