Technology | Three Smartphone Powerhouses bring cross brand file sharing capability
World-leading smartphone brands OPPO, Vivo,
and Xiaomi have joined forces to expand the Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance in the global market, while also
welcoming more Android smartphone brands to join the movement. The Alliance
will allow users to transmit files, pictures, and videos without the need for
an internet connection, reflecting how OPPO and its innovative operating system
- ColorOS - is open to cooperate with other platforms.
Alliance
brings smoother, more effortless sharing to OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi users
The Internet has brought a huge convenience to
everyday life, and now especially with 5G on the way, people are expecting
faster and even more stable connections. However, file sharing between
different phone models and brands has always presented an obstacle to greater
connectivity.
In order to tackle this pain point, and to
bring a smoother and more effortless sharing experience to users even with
different brands of smartphones, OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi teamed up to form the
Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance under the protocol for high-speed WiFi
Direct transfer across mobile devices.
“This three-brand partnership aims to bring
the millions of OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi users across the world effortless and
more user-centric file-sharing,” said Andy Wu, Vice President of OPPO and
President of Software Engineering Business Division. “This is a significant
first step for OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi to better serve their users collectively,
and we also welcome other Android smartphone brands to get involved and provide
a more open, effortless, and interactive experience for users.” adds Wu.
The file transfer function scans devices using
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) that
boasts a broader range as well as lower power consumption, and it transmits
files using Wi-Fi P2P (Peer-to-Peer) technology, which is faster than Bluetooth
but will not compromise users’ Wi-Fi connectivity. This also delivers an
average transfer speed of 20MB/s.
Share
with more devices in just a few simple swipes
On OPPO smartphones with ColorOS 7, users can
swipe down on the desktop screen to open the drop down menu, where they’ll find
the “OPPO Share” button, which they
should long press to enter. This should also be repeated on the Vivo or Xiaomi
phones that intend to send or receive files. This enables users to transfer
files with ease, as it allows multiple files to be sent at the same time.
OPPO Share is compatible with devices running
ColorOS 7 (Android 10) and onwards. ColorOS 7 is currently available as a trial
version with Reno 2, Reno 10X Zoom, F11 Pro, F11 Pro Marvel's Avengers Limited
Edition, and F11. The release will also cover the Find Series, Reno Series, R
Series, F Series, A Series, and K3 in the coming months.
