What is that supposed to mean?

But yes, as appolus said, this requires a Near Field Communication, or NFC chip built into the phone, which is not present in the Blade. And no, you can't make your own out of tinfoil in case you're going to try. It's usually only present in high end handsets, and that crappy wee Samsung dumbphone that they re badged and gave it an NFC chip.

And there is actually a way for phones without NFC to use it for payments albeit with restrictions.

Google also has a plan to enable older devices to use a more limited version of the app: stickers that you can put on the back of your phone.

Google’s Osama Bedier was intentionally vague about the details, but here’s what the plan seems to be: users will be able to obtain special NFC stickers with a single credit card associated with them (such stickers already exist, but these stickers will apparently be able to communicate with the Google Wallet app). It sounds like transactions made using the sticker will be relayed to the Wallet application on your Android device via the cloud.
