Xiaomi, OV establish a cross-brand transfer alliance, mobile phone file data can be transferred across brands

On August 19, the three major mobile phone manufacturers Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo jointly established the Mutual Transfer Alliance with the "Mobile Point-to-Point Fast Transfer Protocol" as the transmission standard to bring users a better file transfer experience.

This move will break through the platform barriers for transferring files and data between smartphones - almost all mobile phone manufacturers only support transferring files and data within their brands.

According to the official introduction, after the establishment of the Inter-Transfer Alliance, Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo can realize cross-brand mobile phone file data transfer with one click, without the need to install third-party software; after intercommunication, the transferred files support multiple formats such as pictures, documents, videos, music, etc.; moreover, the pairing speed is fast, the transmission process is stable, no traffic is required, and the transmission speed can reach 20MB/s.

Taking any manufacturer's mobile phone as an example, when you need to share files with mobile phone users of the other two manufacturers, you only need to enable the mutual transfer function in the drop-down menu, turn on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth switches at the same time, then click Share in the edit bar, click the other user's avatar to send, and the recipient can confirm to receive.

Currently, the alliance includes Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo, and the official said that more manufacturers are expected to join. Lei Jun, founder and chairman of Xiaomi, and Lu Weibing, vice president of Xiaomi and general manager of Redmi, also forwarded the Weibo and said, "We welcome other friendly companies to join."

It is reported that the mutual transfer function will start public testing in the near future and is expected to be launched at the end of August.

It is worth noting that according to a report on the Chinese smartphone market in the second quarter of 2019 released by market research firm Canalys, China's smartphone shipments in Q2 totaled 97.6 million units, down 6% from 103.6 million units in the same period last year; among them, except for Huawei, shipments of other mobile phone manufacturers including OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi all declined - Huawei's shipments increased by 31% year-on-year, while Xiaomi and OV's year-on-year declines exceeded 10%.

In the view of Leiphone.com, the alliance formed between Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo will help them to open up cooperation and build an ecosystem together; from another perspective, the three companies' ability to transfer files between mobile phones will also help them improve their competitiveness in the fiercely competitive Chinese smartphone market.
