If you want to connect a Samsung TV to your tablet or smartphone, you can do so either via apps or by cable. We show you how it works and what is possible afterwards.
Stream content from iOS or Android devices to a Samsung SmartTV
A prerequisite for connecting your tablet or smartphone to a Samsung television is that you are on the same network. Both devices must therefore be connected to the Internet via WLAN or LAN.
- Connect Samsung smartphone to Samsung TV: Use a Samsung Galaxy smartphone or tablet, swipe down from the top of the screen and activate the "Smart View" or "Screen Mirroring" function in the menu. Then a connection is established between the mobile phone and the television. If the TV is not found, press the "Source" button on the remote control and select "Smart View" or "Screen Mirroring". When the connection is established, the screen of the mobile phone is displayed on the television.
- Samsung SmartView for iOS and Android: What is already preinstalled on Samsung Android devices can be retrofitted on all other Android devices as well as on iOS devices via app. If you start the app, the TV will be recognized automatically. You can now use your mobile device as a remote control (see picture). All important buttons and a transmission of the TV picture are available on the device.
- YouTube: Open the YouTube app on iOS or Android, you can stream all videos to your Samsung Smart TV. To do this, click the arrow at the top right of the screen and select the Samsung TV.
- Fire TV Stick: If you use a Fire TV or Fire TV Stick from Amazon, you can also take a small detour. If you plug the stick into your television, you can then use the app to display all the content you want on your mobile phone on the television. Alternatively, you can also stream the entire phone screen to the Fire TV.
