I would switch to a Google Phone as soon as an Airdrop-esque solution emerges.

There is nothing more pitiful than being offline on vacation and someone with an amazing flagship android phone can't share the videos with everyone. And then their phone predictably gets lost or explodes.

15 years in and bluetooth file sending is still horrible and basically nonexistent, Apple's airdrop is pretty amazing. That'll keep me in the Apple ecosystem for now.

Wat? Android Beam works beautifully. Has done for years, is very fast, and triggered simply by tapping the phones together.
