Unidentified Galaxy S6 status bar icon?

[GeneJockey]

Started seeing a new icon in the status bar I have never seen before. Anyone shed light on what this is? I am talking about the "N" with the "(((" to the left of the WiFi indicator in the screenshot attached.

Well that's what I initially thought but when I looked up NFC icons, that is NOT what anyone showed. Is the S6 using a new icon that is non-standard?

Guess it depends on the carrier. Mine looks like a this

Yes, the one you have is the "standard" NFC icon

That said I turned NFC off and sure enough my new icon disappeared so clearly that was it.

Thanks very much.

Which carrier are you seeing this one? My Sprint S6 doesn't show a NFC icon.
