How is that an SoC feature?
Supposedly the compatibility is via a Wi-Fi spec that Apple was forced to switch AirDrop to which likely means that support for the spec needs to be implemented on the actual chipset.
This is a bit out of my realm of knowledge, but that would be my assumption. Kind of like BLE when that first became a thing.
You can check if your phone supports WiFi Aware on this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=live.ditto.wifiawarechecker
My mediatek phone from 2023 does not support :(
Bullshit idk.
Probably something about being able to listen in the background or switch between AP and ad-hoc WiFi modes.
Open source alternative for devices on the same Wi-Fi: Local Send
