When Are Other Android Smartphones Getting the Feature?

The AirDrop over Quick Share support is not yet a universal experience as only a limited number of smartphone models were made eligible to access the feature.

At first, it was only Google's Pixel 10 series that was able to use the AirDrop interconnectivity via QuickShare, but it was later adopted by Samsung for its latest Galaxy S26 series.

It was revealed in previous reports that brands like Oppo are already working on support for the feature, but some users have to wait for their smartphone brands to announce adoption of the feature.
