I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note phone in Greece, but the store in which I bought the phone brought it directly from Samsung in France (that's what they told me), and the language that the phone had when I first booted the device was in German (so I suppose this phone was purposed for Germany).
Is there any way to find out whether my phone has NFC technology or not?
com.android.nfc
is the default Android app which takes care of NFC. You should be having it unless your OEM deliberately removed it and introduced some other alternative. – Firelord Sep 25 '15 at 10:30
