Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct supports a direct connection between Wi-Fi enabled devices without an access point. Due to the
high battery usage of Wi-Fi direct, it is recommended that you plug your phone into a power outlet while using
the Wi-Fi Direct feature. Check your Wi-Fi & Wi-Fi Directed network in advance and make sure the users are
connected to the same network.
