Samsung:
Samsung is introducing AirDrop support to the Galaxy S26 series,
making it easier for users to share content between devices using
Quick Share.The feature will begin rolling out from March 23, starting in
Korea and expanding to more regions including Europe, Hong Kong,
Japan, Latin America, North America, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.
AirDrop support will initially be available on the Galaxy S26
series, with expansion to additional devices to be announced at a
later date/
I presume, but don’t know for certain, that they’re using the same reverse-engineered implementation of AirDrop that Google announced for its Pixel 10 phones back in November, and for which Google offered a wee bit of technical details to vouch for the security of the implementation. A month ago, Google expanded support to the Pixel 9 generation.
Apple has, to date, not commented on any of this.
