Sorry Apple’s AirDrop, you are now not the good strategy to switch information shortly.

Huawei not too long ago introduced its new lineup of Mate 70 smartphones, however the factor that is grabbing most individuals’s consideration is its loopy new file switch performance.

The function lets customers switch content material from one Huawei gadget to a different just by utilizing hand gestures. It really works by clinching your fist on the telephone’s display screen like your grabbing it, dragging it to a different Huawei gadget, and releasing it.

I do know that is only a gimmick, however so far as enjoyable smartphone options go, it is the good I’ve seen in a very long time. I am unable to assist however discover the function resembles a Jedi utilizing the pressure in Star Wars.

Huawei’s new telephone is simply out there in China

It is unlikely the telephone will come to the U.S.

The brand new file switch function was showcased at a current Huawei occasion the place the corporate revealed its new Mate 70, Mate 70 Professional, and Mate 70 Professional Plus smartphones. The Mate 70 begins at 5,499 yuan (about $760) and goals to be a competitor to Apple’s iPhone 16 lineup in China.

It’s not fully clear how the function works, however based mostly on movies seen on social media, my guess is that it makes use of the telephone’s digital camera sensors to activate an AirdDop-like function. The digital camera sees your hand gesture, captures the display screen, and prompts a peer-to-peer Bluetooth connection. As soon as the opposite close by gadget’s digital camera sees the receiving hand gesture, it accepts that connection and the file switch.

The hand-gesture file switch function will solely be out there on Huawei’s latest lineup of telephones and its MatePad Professional 13.2 pill. These gadgets are solely out there in China presently, and do not function any {hardware} from the U.S. attributable to strict laws. The brand new telephones additionally run their very own working system impartial of Android referred to as Harmony OS Next.

Whereas we in North America doubtless will not get an opportunity to check Huawei’s new telephones and hand-gesture file switch function, hopefully, different Android telephone producers within the U.S. see the excitement and implement one thing related. I might love to have the ability to use the ability of the pressure on my telephone to ship one thing to a pal.
