Cheap Android phones will have features like expensive mobiles, sharing will be available without internet

Android phones will soon receive a remarkable feature named Quick Share, allowing file sharing without internet connectivity, similar to Apple's AirDrop.

All Android operating system (OS) smartphones are set to receive an innovative feature called Quick Share, which will enable users to share photos, videos, audio, contacts, or other files from up to 30 feet away without requiring internet access. This feature, which has previously been available only on the Pixel 10 series, is expected to expand to all Android smartphone users in the near future. The Pixel 10 Pro's price in India is approximately 1.09 lakh rupees, highlighting the disparity in access to such features for users of more expensive devices.

To facilitate compatibility with AirDrop, a separate app will be developed for Quick Share support, which will be made available via the Play Store. Users wishing to utilize the Quick Share feature for compatibility with AirDrop will need to install this app. This development signifies an important step for Android smartphones, particularly in providing equitably accessible sharing functionalities across different price points of devices.

Moreover, Google's recent warnings about security risks threatening 40% of global smartphones underscore the importance of ensuring safety in the evolving landscape of mobile technology. As Android users look forward to enhanced sharing capabilities, they are also encouraged to stay vigilant regarding their devices' security, ensuring a safe experience while utilizing these new features.
