As technology advances, there are numerous TV models supporting phone-to-TV connections. Images, music, and videos from your phone can be displayed on the TV, especially with smart TVs, offering better resolution. Currently, there are several methods to connect your phone to a TV, and in this article, Mytour compiles simple and quick ways to connect your Android phone to a Sony TV.
CONNECTING AN ANDROID PHONE TO A SONY TV
1. Connection via MHL cable
MHL connection is a standard connection method that allows transferring content from your phone to the TV, providing users with larger visuals and sound for enhanced entertainment or productivity compared to a phone screen. To connect an Android phone to a Sony TV via MHL, follow these steps:
Step 1: Insert the smallest end of the cable into your phone.
Step 2: Connect the HDMI end of the MHL cable to the HDMI port on the TV, then plug the USB end into the TV's USB port.
Now, all content displayed on your phone will be projected onto the TV's large screen. You can easily watch movies, browse the web, or play games on the TV's big screen.
2. Screen Mirroring Your Phone to the TV (applies to internet TVs and Android TVs)
Screen Mirroring is a widely used wireless connection feature on most smart TVs, and Sony TVs are no exception. This feature allows you to mirror your phone screen and audio to the TV through a shared Wi-Fi network. To use this feature, first, check if your devices support Screen Mirroring:
- On your phone: You can find this feature in the connection settings. Depending on the manufacturer, this feature may be named Screen Mirroring, Miracast, Screen Casting, Image Casting, etc., but essentially, it serves the same purpose.
- On the TV: Press the INPUT button (for Sony internet TVs) or HOME button (for Sony Android TVs). If you see the Screen Mirroring or Image Casting option, it means the TV supports this feature.
3. Connection via the Sony Video & TV SideView app
The Video & TV SideView app for Android turns your phone and tablet into a remote control for Sony TVs like BRAVIA, Blu-ray players, home theater systems, and Google TV. With this app, users can view and update channel schedules, discover new programs, search for favorite content, and control their Sony TV using touch gestures on their Android screen. Additionally, users can access specific TV usage guides as this app serves as a TV handbook for you.

Many Android phones from manufacturers like LG, Samsung, Sony, etc., are equipped with an infrared port. Therefore, readers can easily control their TVs with basic operations using their phones.
5. Connection via Photo Share Feature (applies to Sony internet TVs and Sony Android TVs)
Most Sony internet TVs and Sony Android TVs nowadays come with the Photo Share feature. You can quickly and conveniently share photos from your phone to the TV (up to 10 phones can be connected each time) while still maintaining the original size of the images.
6. Google Cast (applies to Sony Android TVs)
Sony Android TVs also feature the unique Google Cast function. When the TV and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can cast videos from YouTube to the TV screen with just a few simple steps.
7. One-Touch NFC Connection
Some Android phone models feature NFC, so with just a simple touch, all data can be quickly transferred to another device. To connect to a Sony TV via this convenient connection, the TV must support smart NFC remote (some TVs come with it, while for others, you may need to purchase separately from the manufacturer).
