Something individuals new to iPhones are regularly astonished to learn is that iOS doesn’t have a “share by means of Bluetooth” alternative. Rather, Apple users depend on the firm’s custom AirDrop app to send documents between one another. However, in the event that the document needs to be sent to an Android smartphone, the Apple user will need to use email or an app.

AirDrop utilizes a mix of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to set up a quick and secure connection between two Apple device which makes it exceptionally advantageous. Up until this point, there’s no such feature that works all around on all Android devices albeit, a few phone makers have their own custom file-sharing alternative.

That may change soon as Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi reported in a public statement that they’re forming a “Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance” in order to “provide users with an unparalleled file transfer experience.” The new record move framework doesn’t have a name yet, but it will likewise utilize Bluetooth for blending and WiFi P2P (distributed) for the information move.

Despite relying on the phone’s WiFi, the framework won’t disconnect users from their WiFi connection and can be utilized at the same time without meddling with other running apps. The new framework guarantees a normal transfer speed of 20MB/s with maximum speeds potentially much higher depending on the devices involved.

The first smartphones that will be released with the new framework onboard are scheduled to debut in February this year, as indicated by the press statement. The feature will get expanded to other models as new phones get released by the three brands.
