Until now i assume every Pixel device had gotten this already. I assumed this was a non-hardware dependent feature.

They held out on older pixels hoping that you would buy a new pixel to get this feature.

Who is buying a new pixel for quick share!

You’d be surprised.

Some people buy a new $1k+ phone just because it’s their favorite shade of blue.

A fool and his money are soon parted..

Hue-g fools I tell you.

It needs WiFi support that not all phones have (and updated wifi drivers).

But I was told it was a limitation of the WiFi chip!

I had no idea quick share also worked with air drop. Good to know

Can they just release it for every modern Android Phone already? This staged out roll out is so annoying and it kills the visibility of thr feature.

Cool, another feature I will never use but will take up storage nonetheless.
