But what if you want to share files with androidwith smartphones of other brands? In that case, you can use Google's Nearby Share feature, but it's often slower than Quick Share. Group of manufacturers androidsmartphone companies are trying to solve this problem with their own standard for file sharing, and Samsung is now joining it.
According to the well-known leaker Ice universe, Samsung has joined the Mutual Transmission Alliance (MTA), which was founded two years ago by the Chinese companies Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo and now includes OnePlus, Realme, ZTE, Meizu, Hisense, Asus and Black Shark. It's possible that Samsung will integrate MTA protocols into Quick Share, which would allow the feature to easily share files with smartphones and laptops from other brands.
The MTA solution uses Bluetooth LE technology to scan for compatible devices in the vicinity, and actual file sharing takes place via a P2P connection based on the Wi-Fi Direct standard. The average file sharing speed through this standard is around 20 MB/s. It supports the sharing of documents, photos, videos or audio files.
At the moment it is not known when Samsung plans to release the new file sharing system to the world, but we could learn more in the coming months.
