Quick Share for 41 devices

Google has announced updates to Quick Share. This involves an expansion of the existing Quick Share functionality, with Google now adding compatibility with AirDrop-style file transfers. However, integration with the Apple system remains limited and is not widely available for all Android devices.

The list includes several major manufacturers, although support varies significantly by brand. Samsung, for example, has the most extensive selection, with models from the Galaxy S24, S25 and S26 series. Foldable devices such as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and 7, the Z Fold 6 and Z Fold 7, and even the Galaxy Z TriFold are also mentioned.

For Google itself, this includes the Pixel 8a, 9 series and 10 series, including their Pro and Fold variants. It is notable that not all older Pixel 8 models are supported, such as the standard 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro.

Other brands have a smaller selection. Xiaomi is launching the Xiaomi 17T Pro, OnePlus the OnePlus 15, and Oppo a range of Find X9 models and the Find N6. Vivo is adding the X300 series, including the Pro and Ultra variants. Honor is represented by the Magic V6.

There is also a list of devices that will receive support at a later date, such as the Motorola Razr Fold, the Oppo Find X8 series and the Honor Magic8 Pro.

What stands out is that the rollout does not appear to be entirely consistent. Some relatively new or popular models are missing, whilst others are supported. For example, certain FE models and mid-range devices are not mentioned, despite already using Quick Share. Google therefore appears to be rolling out the feature in phases, with support varying by manufacturer and device.
