There’s two things here.
If you just want to touch someone’s phone and it lights up that’s easy and doable.
Now to pass a payload to them without their interaction is the hard part.
You need to:
A). Know the position of the antenna for that model phone
B). That user must have NFC enabled on the phone
C) Phone must be unlocked.
If those three things are met, at most you’ll only be able to have the phone open a web page.
Now if you are worried about proper placement, you can always wear a glove with an RSP or MFGC taped to it and the implant dance is reduced significantly
