KUALA LUMPUR: Three mobile phone producers Vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi announced a partnership to bring an innovative new wireless file transfer system to consumers around the world.
An initiative called “Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance” is a new system which enables seamless cross-brand file transfer with just one click.
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.
“Vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi all share a strong user base, and such partnership will benefit even more consumers globally. It reinforces our commitment to bringing a fast, secure, first-in-class mobile experience,” said Spark Ni, Senior Vice President of Vivo.
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.
The technology delivers an average transfer speed of 20MB/s and it allows users to remain connected and continue with activities on the device during the file transfer.
Users just need to turn on the WiFi and Bluetooth, and select the files intended for sharing. An icon will then pop-up to notify the other user of accept a transfer and once approved, the selected files will be transferred.
The “Peer-to-Peer Transmission Alliance” is a collective commitment between the three brands--Vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi’s effort to enhance the next generation of mobile experience. Together, the three brands will continue to openly collaborate to deliver new technological breakthroughs. The Alliance is also looking forward to welcoming more brands to participate and expand the ecosystem in the future.
This feature will be gradually rolled out on new Vivo products in different markets from February 2020.
