How to connect Samsung phone to TV?

Connecting a Samsung phone to a TV can be done in several ways, depending on the features of your phone and TV. Here are the most common methods:

If you want a stable, high-quality connection, you can use an HDMI adapter:

  2. Connect the adapter to your phone’s USB-C port.
  3. Connect an HDMI cable from the adapter to an available HDMI port on your TV.
  4. Change your TV’s input source to the appropriate HDMI channel.

2. Wireless Screen Mirroring (Smart View)

Most Samsung phones support screen mirroring, which can be done wirelessly if your TV supports it.

1. Make sure both your Samsung phone and the TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. On your Samsung phone, swipe down from the top of the screen to access quick settings.
3. Tap on “Smart View” or “Screen Mirroring.”

3. Using a Streaming Device (Chromecast, Roku, etc.)

If you have a streaming device, you can cast content from your phone to your TV:

• Using Chromecast:
  1. Connect the Chromecast to your TV and set it up.
  2. Ensure your phone and Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  3. Open an app that supports casting (like YouTube).

If you have a compatible Samsung phone, you can use Samsung DeX to share your screen with a TV:

2. On the TV, select the appropriate HDMI input.
3. Your phone will ask if you want to activate DeX mode; confirm it.
4. Use your phone in a desktop layout on the TV.
