What is Screen Mirroring? How to connect your smartphone to your TV?

Screen mirroring (sometimes called screen casting) allows you to mirror your mobile device's content to your TV screen. You will need to open the connection for screen mirroring on both your smartphone/tablet and your TV in order for the connection to work successfully. The below instructions will show you how to open the screen mirroring connection on your Samsung smartphone or tablet, and on your Samsung TV.

There is a dedicated Screen Mirroring feature on some Samsung smartphones and tablets. Older devices and those running operating systems older than Android 4.1.12 may not have the Screen Mirroring feature. 

The screen mirroring function on your device will be called one of the following:

- Screen Mirroring

- Smart View

- Quick Connect

How to find out if your device has Screen Mirroring or Smart View function:

• Go to Home screen >  Use two fingers to pull down the extended notification menu
• If your device does not have these features, you can still connect via Quick Connect

Compatible devices with Screen Mirroring or Smart View function:

• Galaxy series:  Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S10/S10+, Galaxy S9/S9+, Galaxy S8/S8+, Galaxy S7/S7 edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S III  
• Note series: Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Note 10/Note 10+, Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4, Samsung 8” Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 10.1”, Galaxy Note 10.1" 2014 Edition

Samsung mobile phones support Google Chromecast feature as well. If your TV is not Samsung TV, but support Google Chromecast, you can still use this feature to mirror your screen to the TV.

• For mobile phones with Android 10 or older, the Chromecast-ready TV should be shown in the list of Smart View.
• For mobile phones with Android 11 or later, due to stability and compatibility of Google Chromecast on Android 11, Chromecast connection using Smart View is not supported anymore on Android 11(R OS).
  But if you install the 3rd party application that supports Chromecast such as Google Home, you can still use Chromecast to stream contents and mirror screen from your smartphone based on Android 11 to external screen, such as TV or monitor.
