ASUS GlideX: The App That Transforms Your AI PC Experience

Multiple ASUS devices — including a tablet, laptop, desktop monitor, and smartphone — connected through ASUS GlideX, with files being shared across screens and a phone screen mirrored on the laptop.

When you choose an AI PC from ASUS, you're getting more than performance and portability. Our Copilot+ PC devices deliver incredible speed and intelligence. What further elevates the experience is the software that bridges your everyday devices, such as ASUS GlideX — a cross-device platform that could quickly become one of the most powerful tools in your workflow.

ASUS GlideX may at first seem like a simple screen-mirroring app, but it quickly reveals itself as much more. It transforms your laptop into the centerpiece of a seamless multi-device ecosystem, allowing your phone, tablet, and laptop to work in tandem naturally. Whether you’re enhancing productivity, boosting creativity, or simply managing digital life more efficiently, ASUS GlideX turns your AI PC into a flexible workspace that adapts to you.

A Unified Digital Workspace Across All Your Devices

Most of us interact with multiple screens throughout the day, switching between phones, tablets, and laptops as we move through tasks and activities. ASUS GlideX aims to eliminate — or at least minimize — these transitions. Rooted in our vision of 'any screen, any device, anywhere', it brings Windows, Android, and iOS into one fluid environment.

Working on a commute, you might mirror your phone onto your ASUS Zenbook A14 to review notes you took earlier on a larger display. At a café, your tablet instantly becomes a second screen for your laptop through wireless display extension. At home, notifications, messages, and calls sync effortlessly across devices so you can keep working or enjoying your time off without interruptions. ASUS GlideX gives your laptop the ability to coordinate your digital workflow instead of competing with other devices for your attention.

This cohesion is where the real value lies: it doesn’t just connect devices — it makes them feel like one experience.

Mirror Mode: A Larger Perspective Without Distractions

Mirror Mode is often the first feature people try, and it sets the tone for what ASUS GlideX is capable of. With a tap, your mobile device’s display appears on your laptop screen, allowing you to see and control your phone directly from your keyboard and touchpad.

This becomes incredibly useful in everyday scenarios. Presenting a mobile app during a meeting becomes effortless. Teaching or demonstrating steps in a tutorial becomes clearer. Reviewing social content, images, or lengthy conversation threads becomes more comfortable on the expansive screens of laptops like the ASUS Zenbook A16 or the ASUS Vivobook 16. Rather than juggling devices, ASUS GlideX lets you centralize your attention and stay focused.

Extend Mode: A Portable Second Monitor Anywhere You Go

Extend Mode is where ASUS GlideX truly transforms productivity. Your phone or tablet becomes a genuine extended display — a versatile laptop monitor extension that works both wired and wirelessly. Even mobile devices with touch or stylus support become pressure-sensitive drawing pads when paired with compatible apps.

For a lightweight compact laptop like the ASUS Zenbook S14 or ASUS Vivobook S14, this means serious multitasking power. Keep research open on your extended screen. Move chat apps, tools, color palettes, or reference images off your main workspace. If you’re a creator, sketch on your tablet while watching the strokes appear instantly on your laptop.
Extend Mode allows your workspace to reshape itself around your needs — at your desk, on a train, or in a café. It’s the closest thing to carrying a second monitor in your pocket.

Unify Control: One Keyboard, One Mouse, Every Device

Unify Control is one of ASUS GlideX’s most elegant features. It lets you operate your phone, tablet, and even another PC and transfer files seamlessly using your ASUS laptop. Instead of picking up each device, your cursor moves fluidly between screens as if they formed one extended display.

You can copy text on one device and paste it on another or drag and drop files directly across screens. This transforms multi-device workflows — messaging, content editing, and file handling all become faster and more intuitive. The result is a workspace that feels unified even when the devices themselves have different sizes, brands, or operating systems.

Communication Sync: Stay Connected Without Losing Focus

ASUS GlideX brings clarity to the endless stream of phone notifications. Instead of breaking your focus, calls, messages, and alerts are mirrored to your laptop. You can answer calls using your laptop’s speakers and microphone, check messages instantly, and browse your phone’s contact list directly from the PC.

This is especially useful in work and study contexts, where reaching for your phone breaks concentration. With ASUS GlideX, your AI PC becomes the communication hub — your phone stays nearby but out of the way, and you remain in control of your time and attention.

Phone Album & File Transfer: Content That Moves Effortlessly

Modern work is content-heavy, and ASUS GlideX makes managing that content far easier. Phone Album, a new function of ASUS GlideX, gives your laptop direct access to your phone’s photos. You can browse, download, delete, and even send images back to your phone without cables or manual syncing.

Complementing this, File Transfer enables quick, wireless sharing of documents, photos, and videos. When devices share the same network, there’s no limit to transfers — ideal for creators working on media-rich projects or anyone who frequently moves files between devices. This can dramatically speed up routine tasks.

Shared Cam & Remote Access: Two Tools You Didn’t Know You Needed

Shared Cam lets your phone become a high-quality webcam and microphone for your laptop. For meetings, live streaming, or video content creation, the difference is immediate — your ASUS laptop benefits from superior mobile camera hardware with no extra accessories.

Remote Access adds mobility in the other direction: with your phone, you can access your laptop from anywhere. Whether you left a file at home or need to check something on your ASUS Vivobook 14 while on the go, ASUS GlideX turns your phone into a remote desktop window into your PC. Both features expand how and where you can use your devices, reinforcing ASUS GlideX’s promise of flexibility.

App Streaming: Mobile Apps, Desktop Convenience

App Streaming is one of ASUS GlideX’s most forward-looking capabilities. With compatible ASUS phones, mobile apps can run directly on your laptop with up to four separate app windows. This makes your phone’s ecosystem available on your desktop — ideal for creators, multitaskers, or anyone who relies on mobile tools alongside Windows applications.

Coupled with the performance of a Copilot+ PC such as the ASUS Zenbook A14, this creates a powerful hybrid environment for work and entertainment.
