vivo X60 Pro+ officially teased by vivo

Will launch on January 21

Smartphones are rushing to adopt the new Snapdragon 888 chipset launched late last year. After the Samsung Galaxy S21’s launch last week, it’s time for other brands to follow suit. Taking to Weibo, vivo has confirmed the vivo X60 Pro+ launching in a few days.

However, besides a simple confirmation, vivo also teased a few features which will come with the smartphone. As mentioned above, the new phone will come with the Snapdragon 888 chipset. It will come with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. Meanwhile, the rear panel will sport a leather back, an oft-underrated material for smartphone rears.

Speaking of the back, we have a good glimpse of the quadruple rear camera setup featuring ZEISS optics and a 50-megapixel main sensor. On the front, the phone will have a punch hole camera of unknown specifications and an under-display fingerprint reader. The phone will be powered by a 55W fast charger.

Though the teasers are definitely lacking, vivo is launching the vivo X60 Pro+ on January 21. If you can’t wait, vivo already launched the X60 series back in December with the Exynos 1080 chipset from Samsung.

Samsung brings AirDrop support to Quick Share with Galaxy S26 series

Quick Share meets AirDrop

Published

Quick Share AirDrop

Samsung is making it easier for Galaxy users to share files across devices with the introduction of AirDrop support to Quick Share on the Galaxy S26 series.

The update allows Galaxy S26 users to send and receive files more seamlessly, expanding Quick Share’s functionality beyond Samsung’s own ecosystem. It’s a notable step toward improving interoperability, especially for users who frequently interact with devices outside the Galaxy lineup.

The feature begins rolling out on March 23, starting in Korea. Samsung says availability will expand to additional markets including Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Latin America, North America, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan. As with most rollouts, timing may vary depending on the region.

For now, AirDrop support is exclusive to the Galaxy S26 series. Samsung notes that support for other devices will be announced at a later date.

Expanding what Quick Share can do

Quick Share has long been Samsung’s answer to Apple’s AirDrop — offering fast, wireless file transfers between Galaxy devices. Over time, Samsung has expanded compatibility to include Windows PCs and select Android devices.

With this update, the experience becomes more flexible. Users can expect fewer limitations when sharing photos, videos, and documents, particularly in mixed-device environments.

While Samsung has not detailed the exact technical implementation, the move signals a broader push toward making Galaxy devices easier to use alongside other platforms.

A software-driven upgrade for the S26

The addition of AirDrop support reinforces one of the key themes behind the Galaxy S26 series: improving everyday usability through software.

Launched in February, the Galaxy S26 lineup — consisting of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra — focuses on refinement rather than dramatic hardware changes. Samsung has leaned heavily into what it calls “effortless intelligence,” with features powered by Galaxy AI designed to simplify daily tasks.

These include tools like Now Brief and Now Nudge, which surface contextual suggestions, as well as AI-powered editing features such as Photo Assist and Audio Eraser. Privacy also plays a bigger role this year, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra introducing a built-in Privacy Display that limits viewing angles in public spaces.

On the hardware side, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, paired with a redesigned vapor chamber for improved thermal performance. It also introduces faster 60W charging, a bump from the previous generation.

Making sharing more seamless

With AirDrop support coming to Quick Share, Samsung is addressing a common friction point for users: moving files between different ecosystems.

It may not be the most headline-grabbing feature, but it’s one that could have a meaningful impact on day-to-day use — especially for users who regularly share content across devices.

As the feature rolls out globally, it further positions the Galaxy S26 series as a device focused on practical improvements that make the overall experience smoother and more connected.
