Screen mirroring
Use Screen mirroring to show the screen of your device on a TV or other large display
without using a cable connection. Wi-Fi Direct™ technology creates a wireless
connection between the two devices, so you can sit back and enjoy your favourite
photos from the comfort of your couch. You can also use this feature to listen to
music from your phone via the TV's speakers.

functionality described above to work. If your TV does not support screen mirroring, you need

Scanning barcodes with the NeoReader™ application
About scanning with the NeoReader™ application
Use your phone as a barcode scanner to find out more about items you scan. For
example, you see a coat in a magazine ad and want to find the nearest retail outlet to
buy it. If the ad contains a readable barcode, the NeoReader™ application uses this
code to access mobile web content, such as a web page with more product
information or a map of nearby outlets. NeoReader™ supports most standard
barcode types.
