You do not need Wi-Fi to mirror your Android device’s screen on a TV. You can achieve screen mirroring without Wi-Fi by using a DeX cable or a USB-C to HDMI cable. These cables allow you to connect your phone directly to the TV, bypassing the need for a wireless network connection.
To begin, you will need to obtain a compatible cable. If your phone supports Samsung DeX, you can use a DeX cable to connect it to the TV. Alternatively, if your phone has a USB-C port, you can use a USB-C to HDMI cable. Make sure to purchase a cable that is compatible with your specific phone model.
Once you have the appropriate cable, follow these steps to mirror your Android device’s screen on the TV:
1. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI port on your TV.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the USB-C port on your phone or smart device.
3. On your TV, switch to the HDMI input that corresponds to the port you connected the cable to.
4. Your phone’s screen should now be mirrored on the TV. You may need to adjust your TV’s display settings to ensure the best resolution and aspect ratio.
It’s worth noting that while Wi-Fi is not required for the actual screen mirroring process, some apps or features on your phone may rely on a Wi-Fi connection for certain functionalities. For example, if you want to stream online content or use screen mirroring apps that require an internet connection, you will need to connect to Wi-Fi separately.
In my personal experience, I have used both a DeX cable and a USB-C to HDMI cable to mirror my Android device’s screen on a TV without Wi-Fi. It is a convenient way to share photos, videos, presentations, or any content from your phone on a larger screen. Whether I wanted to show vacation pictures to family and friends or play mobile games on a bigger display, screen mirroring without Wi-Fi provided a seamless and enjoyable experience.
