Owning a smart TV and smartphones is common nowadays. If you have a Samsung TV and Android devices at home, why not connect them to enjoy better services? In the following article, we'll share various methods to connect your Android phone to a Samsung TV to experience images, music, videos, and more on a larger screen.
How to Connect Android Phone to Samsung TV
CONNECTING PHONE TO SAMSUNG TV
1. Connection via MHL cable
2. Connection via Screen Mirroring
3. Connection using Samsung Smart View app
4. Casting YouTube from phone to TV
5. Connection via Infrared port
1. Connection via MHL Cable
MHL connection is a standard method to transfer content from your phone to the TV, allowing users to enjoy larger images and sound for entertainment or work purposes. To connect your Android phone to a Samsung 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 your TV, then plug the USB end into the TV's USB port.
Step 3: Using the TV remote, press the [Source] button and select the MHL input signal from the display list.
Now all content displayed on your phone will be projected onto the large screen of the TV. You can easily watch movies, browse the web, or play games on the TV's large screen.
2. Connection via Screen Mirroring (for Smart TVs)
Screen Mirroring is a common wireless connection feature on most Samsung Smart TV models. This feature allows you to mirror your phone screen and audio to the TV by connecting to the same Wi-Fi network. To use this feature, first, check if your devices support Screen Mirroring:
- On your phone: This feature is usually found in the connection settings, may be named Screen Mirroring, Screen Casting, Miracast, Screen Share, etc. (naming varies depending on the manufacturer but essentially the same).
- On the TV: Press the SOURCE button on the remote (for Samsung Smart TVs 2015 and earlier models), or press Home > Source (for Samsung Smart TVs 2016 models onwards). If you see the Screen Mirroring option, it means your TV supports it.
3. Connection using Samsung Smart View app (for Smart TVs)
The Samsung Smart View app is developed by Samsung, allowing you to control your Samsung TV with your phone (navigation, power on/off, typing, numbers...). Additionally, this app also lets you easily transfer photos, music, and movies from your phone to the TV without using a cable.

Note: Not all Android phones can download Samsung Smart View. To check, go to the Play Store and search for this app. Your phone will notify if it's not supported.
4. Screen Mirroring YouTube from phone to TV (applicable to TVs with YouTube)
When playing a YouTube video on an Android phone, if the phone and Samsung TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can select the connection icon to cast it to the TV.
5. Connection via Infrared port
If your phone has infrared, there will be an app on your phone used to control the TV as well as some other devices. Although this feature may not be as convenient as the Samsung Smart View app, it is still sufficient for basic TV operations.
