Google Expands Quick Share AirDrop to More Android Devices

Google announced on Tuesday at The Android Show IO Edition that AirDrop compatibility through its Quick Share feature will expand to more Android devices later this year, aiming to simplify file sharing between Android phones and iPhones.

The cross-platform functionality, which enables direct peer-to-peer transfers of photos, videos and files as seamlessly as native AirDrop on Apple devices, is already available on select recent models. These include Google's Pixel 9 series and Pixel 8a, Samsung's Galaxy S26 series, Oppo's Find X9 series and Find N6, and Vivo's X300 Ultra. The feature debuted last year on Google's Pixel 10 lineup before rolling out to additional devices.

Google provided a list of upcoming supported phones, focusing primarily on premium flagships. Samsung devices on track include the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Trifold. Other brands encompass Oppo's Find X8 series, OnePlus 15, Honor Magic V6 and Honor Magic 8 Pro. Google also confirmed plans for certain Xiaomi phones, though specific models remain undisclosed. It is unclear if variants such as the Galaxy S24 FE or S25 FE qualify.
