How To Screen Mirror To TV on Galaxy S10e Using Samsung Smart View App
The #Samsung #Galaxy #S10e is one of the latest flagship devices of the South Korean company that has been recently released in the market. This is a significant upgrade over last year’s flagship device that uses more powerful hardware components. This device now has a large 5.8 inch Super AMOLED display, has a dual rear camera system, and uses the latest Snapdragon 855 processor paired with 8GB of RAM.
Those who have bought this device will usually want to share the content of the phone to several people or just want to watch the videos stored in the device on a much larger display. There is an easy way to do this and this is called screen mirroring ( sometimes also called screen casting). What this does is it mirrors the content of the phone to the TV screen. You will need to use a TV that allows screen mirroring. This can either be one of the newer Samsung TV models or any TV with a Chromecast connected to its HDMI port.
Prerequisites: Make sure that your TV and the phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Some TV models also require that you manually switch the input mode or turn on screen mirroring.
How To Screen Mirror To TV on Galaxy S10e Using Samsung Smart View App
-
- Swipe down from the top of the screen using two fingers.
- Search for the Smart View icon then tap on it.
- Tap on the device ( the name of the TV will appear on the phone screen) that you want your phone to connect to.
- When connected your mobile device screen will now be displayed on the TV.
You can now view the content that is on your phone on the TV. This allows videos, photos, or even games to be displayed on a much larger screen. Take note that there is some lag between the actions done on the phone and the appearance on the TV so you might not want to use screen mirror when playing fast paced games.
This is still a solid primer, and the prerequisites paragraph deserves more attention than it usually gets — on older Samsung and LG TVs you genuinely have to enable ‘Screen Mirroring’ as a separate input mode before the TV will appear in the Smart View list, and that step alone solves half the ‘TV not found’ complaints. One update worth noting for newer readers: on recent One UI versions Samsung folded Smart View into SmartThings, so the standalone tile behaves a little differently, though the swipe-down-with-two-fingers path you describe still works. I run a small screen-mirroring guides site, net-mirror.pro, and this input-mode gotcha is the single most common fix in our comments too. Also good that you flagged the same-Wi-Fi requirement up front — phones that auto-join a 5GHz band while the TV sits on 2.4GHz will fail silently here.
