Android phones don’t sync with our PC like Macbook and iPhone Sync. Chromebooks are better with Pixel Phones. But, With Windows PC, none of the Mobile PC Suite work that much good. Yes, I know there are plenty of Apps that are available with your mobile manufacturer. But none of them works as expected. But, after the release of “Your Phone” app from Microsoft, Now you can easily sync your data between your mobile and PC. You can also make an Android Mobile Calls using Windows 10. The results are pretty great than expected. All You need is Android Mobile and Windows 10 PC/Laptop. I will explain the whole process from the setup.
The PC Suite from the Mobile Manufacturers can only share the media files and flash the firmware updates. Only Samsung SmartSwitch does this much. Other Manufacturer PC Suite can’t even share the media files from PC to Phone and vice-versa.
