Vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi Partner to Bring New Wireless File Transfer System to Global Consumers

Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi have established the "Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance" to provide users with an unparalleled file transfer experience. The new wireless file transfer system will allow consumers of these three brands to easily transfer files between their mobile devices without the need for any third-party applications or network data, supporting a wide range of files, including photos, videos, music, documents and more. The move is also in anticipation of 5G adoption, where the average file sizes are expected to significantly increase with the availability of varied and richer content.

The wireless file transfer system provides a streamlined mobile experience which does not require internet connection. It uses Bluetooth for fast pairing and WiFi P2P (Peer to Peer) technology for the data transfer, bringing together an instant, stable and high-speed connection between devices, as well as low power consumption. This technology delivers an average transfer speed of 20MB/s. Also, the WiFi P2P technology does not interrupt the WiFi connection, meaning users remain connected and can continue their activities on the device during the file transfer.

This feature will be gradually rolled out on new vivo products in different markets from February 2020.

Or you can use the built in Nearby share feature from Google which is already present on all devices with android version newer than 6.0?

What is the point of this now?

There is no nearby share in their home country and their primary market.

Fair point. I also just realized original post is from 2020 when we didn't have nearby share. mb
