Hello,
It depends on what if your definition of "operating with ST25DV64K"
We can distinguish two kind of operating modes:
- native
- proprietary application
Native support is when you want your smartphone to automatically read an NDEF message in your NFC tag when you tap it. This operation is entirely managed by the operating system of the phone.
Only a few "native" operation are available on smartphone as of today:
- read an URL in tag and open a web browser
- read an email address in tag and open the mailing application.
- read a wifi or a Bluetooth SSID and propose pairing
- read a virtual business card and open your contacts.
- ...
You can also communicate with the NFC tag with a proprietary application. In that case, the communication is not handled automatically by the operating system, but by the application.
This is what you do when you use the ST25 NFC tap application from the play store. The application allow to communicate with the NFC tag and to do plenty of actions you cannot do "natively".
If your target is native operating (basic NDEF reading):
- ST25DV64K is perfectly supported by iPhones.
- Android phones with android version up to Android 8 (Oreo) included does not support tags with large memory very well (memory > 8kbits). Only a few of them will be able to operate natively with ST25DV64K.
- Full support is available starting with Android 9 (Pie).
- if you don't need more than 4Kbits of memory and target Android < 9, you can use the ST25DV04K , if you need more memory and Android < 9, you can use the M24LR64-E (this last one is supported from android 6 to 9).
If your target is not native support and you plan to develop your own application, then any Android phone with NFC feature will do it.
Hope this clarify the support of ST25DV64K in phones.
Best regards.
