Remote control Android smartphone - the best solutions

Sometimes it would be easiest to combine the Android smartphone and PC at the desk. Then why not control the smartphone remotely? Thanks to smart apps, you can now easily and conveniently operate your Android device remotely via the browser on the PC - we will introduce you to the two best solutions.

Web access to most functions - "AirDroid" makes it possible

The question is what exactly you want to control remotely: If you want to access important phone functions as conveniently as possible, you should take a look at the free app "AirDroid", which has become a powerful tool thanks to constant updates:

• After installing the app and registering, you only have to call up the web address shown in the browser and can even connect to your Android smartphone using a barcode scan. Your mobile home screen will then appear on the desktop.
• Here you have access to countless useful functions: You can write text messages, have your smartphone located and even access all files such as photos or music - including the option to download or upload files. Remote-controlled telephone management - and simple!
• The application impresses with smoothness and chic design - so you get a highly functional tool to control your Android device remotely for free. "AirDroid" also offers a premium service that is subject to a fee: You can use more than one gigabyte per month to move files back and forth, make full use of the camera remote control and even make phone calls from your PC.

Remote control for Android professionals - "Webkey"

If you want to go a step further, the "Webkey" app is ideal: Thanks to root rights, even more extensive features are possible here.

• Again, you have to register for the service briefly. After installation and the granting of root rights, your computer screen reproduces the smartphone screen exactly. The hardware buttons are also simulated - so you can easily navigate through your entire smartphone on the PC.
• The functions are more profound than with "AirDroid": The position of the device can be read exactly, as well as any information about WiFi or device status. Due to the root rights, a task killer, a more extensive file browser and even a terminal console are available to you, with which you can write code directly in the system.
• The only downside: the browser view is not very chic and also a little bit here and there. But the whole system is completely free - and really rich in features. For example, you can control another one remotely with an Android device!
