How can you tell if the NFC antenna is faulty?

The NFC module handles contactless payment, fast Bluetooth pairing and file sharing between two nearby phones. When a Galaxy Note 20 suddenly refuses Samsung Pay, or the phone no longer detects a transport card, an access badge or a connected object, the NFC antenna is the part most often at fault, even before the motherboard.

An impact on the edge of the phone, a fall or water infiltration is enough to break the thin flex cable connecting this antenna to the rest of the device. Replacing only the antenna solves the problem without touching the rest of the electronics, the screen, or the battery.

An original part, supplied as a Service Pack

This antenna is an original manufacturer part, supplied as a Service Pack: it comes off the same Samsung production lines as the antennas fitted at the factory, in the manufacturer's official repair packaging. Nothing has been repaired on it, nothing has been reglued, it is a new part.

It carries the manufacturer reference GH97-25227A, the one a repairer finds on the label of the old antenna to confirm, before ordering, that it is indeed the right part.

Compatible with which Galaxy Note 20?

This NFC antenna is designed for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 reference N980F. This number can be checked on the back of the rear casing, or in the phone's settings, under the model number section.

An antenna intended for this model does not fit onto another Samsung chassis: checking the reference before purchase avoids a return and an additional repair delay.

2-year warranty on this part

This NFC antenna is covered by a 2-year warranty, applied by the shop in addition to the check carried out before shipping. In the event of a defect, the part is taken back over this period, with no condition tied to an approved center.
