Some of you might not know that the #Samsung #Galaxy #S8 can connect to a smart TV and mirror its content on the large screen. This is called screen mirroring and is ideal when you want to share the content of your device to several people or if you just want to enjoy the multimedia content of your phone on a much larger display.
To screen mirror the phone on a TV you will of course need the S8 with the Smart View app installed. This app acts as a remote control allowing you to control what content on the phone you want to mirror. You will also need a Samsung TV or a TV has a miracast functionality. Alternatively, you can also use an ordinary LED TV with the use of a Chromecast as long as it has an HDMI port. You should also make sure that both the S8 and the TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
