title: HF-RFID vs. NFC - Can an NFC-enabled mobile phone read high frequency RFID tags?
body: <p>I see lots of forums that say RFID is different than NFC. I absolutely agree with this as both have different standards and operate on different frequencies.</p>
  
  <p>After some further research, I found that some RFID standards (HF-RFID) exist in the 13.56 MHz frequency band, which is the same frequency as NFC uses (see <a href="http://blog.atlasrfidstore.com/rfid-vs-nfc" rel="noreferrer">here</a>). However, I did not find anything that clearly says, that NFC devices and HF-RFID are interoperable. Also, I have seen one online video where someone is reading an HF-RFID tag using Samsung NFC enabled mobile.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that both NFC and RFID uses radio frequency.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, can HF-RFID (13.56 MHz) tags be read with an NFC-enabled mobile phone?</p>
  
  <p>And also, HF-RFID reader can also used to read NFC tag?</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone tested this and give any link, where it confirmed that its possible?</p>
