Hello, A-Sven-gers! Thanks for checking out my video on using Amiibo on the Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS handheld systems. While the New Nintendo 3DS/ N.Yes, the NFC circuit in a smartphone can read RFID tags that operate at 13.56 MHz. I personally have never seen any device capable of reading a small passive tag with a range greater than about 10cm. For long range applications you may be interested in UHF tags like the ones used .
