So does this battery now come equipped with NFC? I read a review that says that this battery doesn't have NFC...thanks

I don't know since I don't have the battery but J. Wilson is wrong, the battery provides the NFC signal. If the battery doesn't have NFC abilities you will not be able to use Near Field Communications. Does anyone have this answer? I would like to buy this if it does have NFC capabilities.

I dont know if it does but I know I havent had any issues with signal strength since purchasing it

Do you mean wireless charging? NFC is usually built into the phone. Either way, the battery was just a battery when I got it, but that's been a few months. Bought it for a Galaxy S3, which has NFC built in, and you can buy adapters for wireless charging.

To answer this question yes the battery does come with NFC. I successfully beamed a picture from the S3 to a Nexus 5 worked just fine.

NFC? u mean the S beam feature? like would it work just like the OEM battery? I've tried the S beam using the OEM battery, it doesn't work so well, so i don't think buying this battery would make it any worse/better..

No it does not have a NFC antenna. You can read more about the battery details on their website at http://www.ianker.com/index.php Hope this helps.

When I ordered this battery, it was back in 2012 -it's hard to remember if the battery is delivered with a full charge. You may actually have to put it in your phone and charge it up before you use it.

Its working right now inside my Verizon S3. i wanted to go back to an OEM battery to see if I can get some decent battery life again. Aftermarket batteries don't seem to cut it. The only caveat is that I haven't attempted to used the NFC feature yet but that doesn't matter to me right now.

Yes, it is. It's the same make and model battery that comes with the phone. NFC and all other functions work normally with this battery in my phone.

I have a S2 Plus I9105 and it has NFC in it and OTG. It depends on what Rom it has and where it was made probably. Also, I have just upgraded the phone to OS 4.2.2 and it runs great.

Actually, I asked this same question and was told no. BUT, I bought it anyway, removed the plastic insert that came with it, and glued in the plastic case that came with this battery: Yesoo 4300mAh Samsung Galaxy S3 Extended Battery, Pebble Blue Cover, Extended TPU Case - Blue, Exclusive Black And Green Color Key Chain Kit, and it works great. It is a little snug, I may not be able to put my credit cards in, but that wasn't my objective in the first place. I actually ordered a second wallet to use with the regular battery that came with the phone. The whole process was simple, it snapped out easily and I used hot glue to make the change.

Yes it works perfectly. Keep in mind it does not have the NFC antenna like the stock battery.

I originally got the incorrect battery. The company took the serial number from the inside of my phone and sent the correct battery. I was very happy with it. since the original battery never stay charged. I travel a lot and loved having three batteries available. If unsure of the battery is correct for your phone. Give the company a call. They were very helpful

This T989 battery doesn't support NFC. As far as I know, NFC includes these main functions: S-Beam; Google Wallet; Read NFC tag. This battery can't function as these.

This battery is a rip off. It is not an original Motorola battery and therefore cannot be charged by my phone!!!!! What did you all do? Did you send it back? If it's a bogus company what's the use? Please let me know what you all did.

No... it's not, Elena ! It was in a 4X6 bubbled envelope !!?? Almost looks like it was re-conditioned or something. As a matter of fact, when I installed it in my Blackberry Z 10, it wouldn't hold a charge well like the original battery did. *Of course, I re-charges it several times over a number of weeks, with the same results! I went back to my original battery that came with the NEW phone to start with. As a matter of fact, I went by the store where I originally bought my Blackberry from, and told them / ask them what was going on, and they took apart the phone , and re-installed the battery, to make sure it was making good contact, etc. They did mention of course, that this battery was an "aftermarket" battery, and you get what You pay for ( $7.00 ) vs. $45.00 for a new/ genuine battery. The vinyl wrapping around the $7.00 battery was wrinkled... vs a genuine battery's skin tight covering!! He held them up, and showed me... Good luck, and also, he said, it may have some kind of adverse effect on the phone, and affect the warranty & performance !!

I don't believe so as the NFC doesn't trigger anymore, the NFC chip being located in the battery, that being said, the price was right and it works otherwise. Let's face it, the original battery wasn't great either. Weird smell, burnt out instantly, etc...

Amazon invited me to respond: I bought 2 Hyperion batteries for my GS4. They both died within four months. Died means they both showed charges of 60 to 70% and then kept shutting off the phone, restarting it, shutting it down, etc., over and over. I now use and am very happy with ANKER spare batteries. To the best of my knowledge, batteries have absolutely nothing to do with NFC/Google wallet. The battery powers the phone's features, it does not contain them.

the battery has nothing to do with NFC. The samsung galaxy s3 has an NFC chip. Swapping the battery with this one will not affect it at all. The two are not related.
