The above smartphones will support Phone Link’s Phone screen feature that will allow you to interact with all your Android apps and device content directly on your PC, through a Wi-Fi connection. Once connected, you can use your PC’s mouse, trackpad, keyboard, or touch-enabled screen to open, type, scroll, and interact with Android apps.
Microsoft Phone Link on OPPO group’s devices will also allow you to instantly access the Android apps installed on your smartphone right on your PC. Using a Wi-Fi connection, Apps feature will allow you to use Android apps while using your PC’s larger screen and keyboard.
Finally, the OnePlus, OPPO and Realme devices will also support the instant hotspot feature that will allow you to start and connect to your phone’s Wi-Fi network without touching your phone.
