Connecting Android Q to TV - how to do it

To view photos or videos on a larger screen, it is recommended to connect your Android Q device to the TV. Depending on which technologies or connections your TV supports, it is possible to establish the connection without a cable or via HDMI cable.

Android Q: So verbinden Sie Ihr Gerät per Kabel mit dem TV

How you connect a smartphone or tablet that uses Android Q with the TV depends on which connections the device has. One way to connect your Android Q device to the TV is to use an HDMI cable. Since this not only transmits images, but also sound, you can stream not only photos, but also videos and music on the TV this way. All you need for this type of connection is an HDMI cable and an HDMI adapter for your smartphone.

This is how wireless connection between TV and Android Q device is possible

If both your Android Q device and TV have DLNA certificate, the connection of the two devices is also possible wirelessly. How you have to proceed to establish the connection, however, depends on the device manufacturer.

1. If you have a Samsung smartphone, this is possible with the pre-installed app "AllShare". Open this for this and select under "Play file from my phone on another player" your TV as a destination.
2. If you use a device from Sony, this has its own DLNA app, with which videos or music can be streamed to the TV.
3. Most Android devices and smart TVs also support the Miracast standard, with which you can transfer the smartphone screen to the TV.
