Mobile Connection Options in Windows 10

I recently switched to Windows 10. There are Phone Link and mobile device integration in File Explorer. Do they replace each other or serve different uses?

    Phone Link is used to mirror phone notifications and calls, while the mobile device integration in File Explorer is primarily used for transferring files

    I prefer using Phone Link for mirroring phone notifications and calls, while the mobile device integration in File Explorer is mainly used for transferring files — the two complement each other in functionality.
