Smart Scan feature will let you add contacts on Huawei phones like a Pro

Huawei has many feature that eases day-to-day life for its smartphone users, and one such tool is Smart Scan Contacts. No more asking for numbers and long contact-saving procedures – just scan the contact and it will automatically save in your device.

The Chinese phone maker has made “adding and sharing contacts” easier than ever before. Perhaps, the Pura 80 models are the first to experience this amazing feature.

With HarmonyOS 5.1, Huawei has introduced Smart Scan Contacts feature. This intelligent tool lets you share and add contacts, music, photos, Wi-Fi, and more with one tap.

All you have to do is bring your smartphone closer to the other person’s handset and then share or add contacts. It uses near field communication (NFC) to manage this sharing without even doing the long contact-saving process.

Apart from contact sharing, you can also team up for games or send red envelopes with one tap. Huawei Pura 80 series is currently supporting this feature with the HarmonyOS 5.1.0.212 update. It also has some other changes, which are as follows:
