Jealous of Pixel’s new AirDrop trick? Qualcomm hints it’s coming to many more Android phones

TL;DR

  • Qualcomm has said that it’s bringing Pixel 10-style AirDrop support to Snapdragon-powered phones.
  • This means many more Android phones could soon support Quick Share-AirDrop file transfers.
  • The chipmaker says it’ll enable support on Snapdragon devices in “the near future.”

Google shocked everyone last week by quietly flipping the switch on true AirDrop support for the Pixel 10 series. But if you’re feeling left out because your Android phone can’t do the same just yet, you might be happy to hear what Qualcomm has to say. The chipmaker has now confirmed that it’s working to bring this cross-platform file sharing feature to Snapdragon-powered phones, massively widening the pool of Android devices that may soon join the Quick Share-AirDrop party.
