How to Mirror Your Android Phone to Your TV (2024)
Aug. 10, 2024Whether you are gaming or simply viewing those wholesome vacation photos with your family, the small screen can seem limiting. In that case, you can easily mirror your Android phone’s screen onto your TV and elevate the experience. If you don’t know how here’s a step-by-step guide to give you the help you deserve!
Mirror Android Phone to TV Using Quick Access Panel
Android phones have had the native functionality of screen casting or mirroring ever since Android 5.0. Now, while the process is mostly the same, different Android phones use different screen mirroring services. For example, while Samsung calls it Smart View, OnePlus calls it OPSynergy, and so on. We are using a OnePlus phone to connect to the Realme TV in this case. With that being said, here are the steps:
Another way to mirror your Android phone to a TV is via the Google Home app (Android,iOS). The interface is similar on both the Android and iOS apps, so it won’t be a problem. Once you have downloaded and installed the app,sign in and set up the Google Home app. When that’s done, follow these steps:
To stop mirroring you can simply retrace your steps, or, just like with the native functionality, disconnect from the notification panel itself.
During our testing, we found the mirroring to be good enough. However, at times, there can be delays. Simply wait for the two screens to synchronize and they should be back on track. Otherwise, you can simply disconnect and reconnect the devices and give mirroring a fresh start.
If you want to take a wired approach, simply get a USB Type-C to HDMI converter and connect the TV to your phone. This works much like you’d connect your PC to a TV. Once connected and selected from Input Devices on your Smart TV, your Android phone should instantly start mirroring onto your TV. While this is a more lag-free alternative, wireless is certainly the more convenient option.
With that being said, we hope this guide comes in handy! Meanwhile, if you have any further queries, drop them in the comments down below.
