There are times when our Android smartphone’s huge show doesn’t slice it with regards to indicating content. You require a TV or a PC to flaunt content in all its brilliance. Things being what they are, how would you demonstrate the substance on your Android cell phone through a PC? Indeed, it’s basic, you reflect your Android’s interface to a PC.

There are various situations where reflecting your Android gadget to a PC may prove to be useful. Be it needing to demonstrate a photo on a greater show to many individuals on the double, making an introduction through your Android gadget, giving demos of applications, an application designer needing to test his application without juggling amongst PC and telephone.

Presently you may ponder about how to mirror Android to PC. Don’t you stress, as we are here to tell you. Here’s the way you can reflect your Android’s interface to your Windows PC.

Mirror Android to PC wirelessly

• We came across many apps claiming to bring the mirror feature wirelessly but most of them failed to work. If you haven’t rooted your device and still want to mirror your Android screen to a PC, Mac or Linux system, TeamViewer is your best bet. Here are the steps to do it:

1. DownloadTeamViewer Desktop client and TeamViewer QuickSupport Android app from the Google Play Store.
2. Open theQuickSupport app on your Android device and note your ID.                                                                      
3. Type the same ID in the TeamViewer Windows softwareand click “Connect to partner “.                                    

4.You will be asked toallow remote support on your Android smartphone. Click Allow.                                                  5.A new pop-up question will come up asking if you want to record your Android screen. Tap “Start now “.                            6.You will now see your Android screen mirrored to a separate TeamViewer window.                                            

• While the TeamViewer app does let you control your Android device through the PC but it shows you other details like CPU & RAM usage, battery, storage details, WiFi & Bluetooth connection details, IMEI number and more. You can also check out all the apps on your Android device and delete them from your PC itself. There’s also ability to transfer files between your Android device and PC.

• Unlike the wired connection, the mirror in a wireless connection is very sluggish and it feels very slow indeed. The laggy mirror might be dependent on your internet connection, so you can expect inconsistent performance all the time. Things should work better though if you have a high-speed internet connection at your disposal.

Update:

• Airdroid‘s recent update has brought the coolAirMirror feature for non-rooted devices. Previously, AirMirror was only available for rooted devices which is why most of the users were deprived of this functionality.
• As the name suggests, AirMirror lets you mirror your Android interface to a PC. Moreover, AirMirror works wirelessly as well, after you have allowed USB Debugging on your Android device by connecting it to the PC with a cable.

• When compared with TeamViewer, AirMirror is much better as it lets you control your Android device right from your PC.You can control the interface, which means you can use apps, reply to texts etc. However, AirMirror’s controls aren’t as easy to use when compared to Vysor, plus the mirrored interface on PC is laggy. AirDroid certainly has an advantage because you can use it wirelessly too.

Bonus:

• Along with these ways, Google’s Chromecast device also lets you mirror an Android device’s interface to a TV or a PC with ease. It’s simple to mirror Android to PC with Chromecast. Just make sure both your Android device and PC are connected to the same network and connect Chromecast to your PC. If your device is running Android 5.0 Lollipop, you will have an option to “cast” in the notification drag-down itself but if you have a device running Android 4.4.2,download the Chromecast app to mirror your Android device. Keep in mind though that not all Android devices are optimized to mirror Android through Chromecast. You can check the full list of devices optimized here.

These are the best ways to mirror Android to PC, Mac or Linux

• So, these are the best apps or tools you can use to mirror Android to PC. We tested a quite a few other apps and software but either they were too clunky or they just did not work. A wired connection mirroring through Vysor also allows you to control the Android smartphone through your PC, which is a big bonus when compared to wireless offerings.
