Undoubtedly, if there is something waiting on the Android side regarding iOS, it is to have a file sharing system as powerful and functional as AirDrop. Google tried this in various ways until they arrived at Quick Share; this system actually works really well but still many brands continue to rely on their own internal tools To ensure better compatibility between your devices.

In Xiaomi’s case, Mi Beam was available, an option that seemed to have been forgotten since the last redesign in MIUI 5, but the brand was looking to bounce back thanks to HyperOS 2 and the recently introduced Xiaomi 15. exchanging files between devices belonging to the same company easily, quickly and above all very securely, without depending on other third-party services.

Finally Mi Beam will be the Xiaomi AirDrop we’ve all been waiting for

Of course, many of you are thinking at this point why we want Mi Beam back, which has had Quick Share for a while now, but the truth is that this system is already integrated into Xiaomi devices. There are some advantages that the Google tool cannot offer us. Frankly, the main issue is compatibility between products of the same brand; No matter how well Quick Share works, it cannot guarantee us.

Besides this, we also have Technology called Lightning Fast Transfer It is designed to transfer files at a much higher speed than we can achieve when using Bluetooth. As you can imagine, it uses WiFi connection to power this transfer and since it is between devices belonging to the same company, the speed is the maximum that this type of technology can deliver.

Finally, what is very interesting for us is that no internet connection required To be able to use this tool. The WiFi connection works to connect directly between the two devices we connect, so the whole process will be carried out much more securely and quickly to prevent possible connections from third parties without our permission.

In short, Mi Beam is back and it seems like it is only a matter of time before it is implemented. All Xiaomi devices that can install HyperOS 2 on it. We know the rollout will be gradual, but we’re confident we’ll at least have AirDrop on par with what Apple offers without relying on other third-party services.
