WINDOWS 10

Though we used a OnePlus 6T to

test, dozens of different Samsung

Galaxy phone models are also

supported by Your Phone

Phone calls (Calls)

from your PC:

A Windows 10 PC with build

18362.356 or newer, and

an Android phone running

Android 7.0 or later.

Interacting with your

phone’s screen (Phone

screen) from your PC:

A Windows 10 Insider PC supporting Low Energy

Peripheral Mode, including Surface Laptop 2,

Surface Pro 4 to 6, Surface Book 1-2, and Surface Go.

A list of supported phones is here (fave.co/2CKM7PY),

with most Samsung Galaxy and recent OnePlus

devices supported.

In general, I’ve had the best luck with Calls and

Phone Screen while running the latest Windows

10 Insider Fast Ring previews, which are optimized

for the latest iteration of Your Phone. But the basic

functions (texts, photos, and notifications) should

work fine with a regularly-updated Windows 10 PC.

Remember, this should all open up to a wider subset

of devices over time.
