Connecting the mobile to the computer to move files between the two is one of the basic functions of synchronization between devices, but Intel Unison does not stop there: this new application, which is already available, allows make calls from PC, view phone gallery on big screen or notifications. The app can be downloaded on computers running Windows 11.
Intel promised a computer-to-computer file sharing application that would go beyond this basic function. It was in September 2022 that we discovered the plans with Unison, the application resulting from the acquisition of Screenovate by Intel. We hadn’t heard of it until now, when it finally lands on the Microsoft Store to enable a link between PC, Android and also iPhone. Despite its hardware limitations, early reviews are good.
Connect the Android and go
Intel Unison is an application developed for computers with the 12th generation Intel Evo chipset that also have Windows 11. This initial requirement ends up not being the case, because, really, Unison can be downloaded on almost any PC running the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system.. And it should work, even on a PC with an ARM processor: it opens the door to a good part of Windows users to be able to easily interconnect the computer with the mobile.
The new Intel application offers a function quite similar to that which comes standard with Windows itself, Phone Link or Mobile Link. Despite these similarities, Intel promises a much faster and more agile connection, also the ability to interconnect Windows with Apple devices; something Phone Link doesn’t offer as standard.
Enable easy file sharing between mobile and PC, offer Android notifications on computer screen, Intel Unison lets you answer texts and calls without turning on the phone screenthe mobile gallery can be opened from Windows and all by simply connecting the two devices using a QR code.
To sync your mobile and PC, you need the Unison app, both on Windows and Android. Once installed, you must open the application in Windows and capture the QR code that will appear on the screen with the mobile camera. After this process, similar to the one WhatsApp uses to activate its web, Android and PC version are linked to allow the exchange of files, calls or SMS. And the same with the iPhone (the application is here).
Intel Unison is a good alternative to other similar synchronization tools, such as Phone Link. And it’s worth a try: if you have a computer with Windows 11 installed, it should work.
