Transfer Files Easily with Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo

Good news for users of Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo. They have joined forces to expand the Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance in the global market, allowing users to transmit files, pictures, and videos without the need for an internet connection.

Now, you can transfer files amongst the three brands easily. Here is how it works. The file transfer function scans devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) that boasts a broader range as well as lower power consumption.

File transfers are done using Wi-Fi P2P (Peer to Peer) technology, which is faster than Bluetooth without compromising users’ Wi-Fi connectivity. This also delivers an average transfer speed of 20MB/s.

On a side note. I think the world needs a common file transfer protocol that is faster than Bluetooth instead of relying on the brands to band together to determine one. Don’t you think so?
