Access your phone directly through your computer with Vysor. This screen mirroring program means that you can accurately and painstakingly view all the features of your phone on a desktop or laptop and more easily make use of functions that are a pain to achieve with the small touchscreen of your phone. Send texts using your computer's keyboard, use your mouse to play Android games, or use your phone as a remote control for an office meeting.

Since Vysor makes use of screen sharing technology, you won't have to deal with the sorts of bugs and slowdown you find with more traditional emulators, and you'll have access to your phone precisely. This is useful for developers, and the ability for Vysor to scale to the demands of a wide range of professionals make it an ideal choice for debugging, prototyping, and setting up large, reliable device farms.

There's not a lot of setup involved to get Vysor working. You'll need to install the appropriate apps for both your computer and your Android device, and some users will need to install new drivers and debug their USB recognition tools. But once setup is complete, the app tends to work reliably without the need for further configuration.
