Why degrade it to only Nothing users if it can already do it with everybody else. Kinda pointless isnt it.

The goal of nothing is not to be another apple that locks their customers down to their products to be useable with only their products.

Thats not “Making Tech Fun again”

    All Androids have a feature to share file between them called Quick share. But most of the mobile brands have there own ecosystem of sharing files say for example Huwaei’s Air gestures based file sharing, Apple’s Airdrop,Oppo’s peer to peer transfer etc. We Nothing users expect Nothing also to bring something new like these features for sharing. The Quick Share is fast enough but at the same time if there is something for Nothing it will bring a Nothing ecosystem where Nothing users can share files easily without much using of the phone. Say for example if I want to share a file with the help of Quick share I should on quick share change the settings to everyone/contacts, then we need to locate the file and send them . But in other case if Nothing has its own ecosystem just turn on Nothing share and send the file. Like it saved like atleast 2 taps which makes the user experience more easier.

    Atleast we user can get some sort of share features taking advantage of the NFC which is present in all the Nothing phones .

      BassimBinYoosaf Hey
      What you’re describing is exactly what Quick Share is, a simple and fast solution to transfer files across all Android devices.
      While certain brands have their own system, it’s mainly because they distribute Phones in countries where Google isn’t supported and they need alternative.
      So far Nothing ecosystem is only Phone which all supports Quick Share, I’ve seen your concerns about a multiple steps process but you can actually set Quick Share to run all the time for “everyone” if you want.
      NFC was actually used in the Android 4 era to transfer files over Bluetooth which was slow, Quick Share use Wi-Fi to transfer files which is the fastest wireless method to transfer files, also good to note that not every phone use NFC just like the CMF Phone which is included in that “Nothing Ecosystem”.

          I made a small study on what you mentioned. But it seems like it is brands like Samsung is not providing a seperate share feature for regional issues but for a faster sharing experience within their ecosystem.

          I also checked the regional restrictions. Samsung gives a seperate sharing mechanism by integrating with other brands to provide them similar features.And the purpose of a seperate Samsung share feature is not because of a regional restrictions.

          This is what I could understand after making some searches on this case.

          I am aware that CMF is also in the ecosystem of Nothing. But considering the processor, and specs of CMF i wasn’t sure if it is capable of supporting these. But there are feature which is there in Nothing Phone’s and not there in CMF. So if Nothing is bringing something if they can involve CMF it’s well and good but it is not fair to not give a specific feature to other phones as a single phone can’t support it.

          I also agree that NFC was an old method of sharing. But I mentioned it as an alternative because the NFC working with bluetooth in android version 4 it was bluetooth version 4 but now it has changed so there might be changed in speed too. Also nfc ws just a simple suggestion.

          Here,

          First feature is used by brands like oppo, vivo, xiaomi for their ecosystem to share files.

          Second feature is used by Apple.

          Third features is a rare implementation.

          Fourth feature is used in Oneplus, Realme etc

          Fifth feature is also used by Apple and Samsung

          Sixth feature is also used by Apple and Samsung

          Seventh feature is used by Samsung again

          Nothing has a very innovative idea. Nothing is capable of bringing a new form of share feature for Nothing ecosystem. These are some feetures implemented by other brands. The hardware of Nothing is better known by the manufacturers than any users. So Nothing can bring something innovative with the existing hardware maybe.
