How To Mirror a Samsung A20 to Your TV

Mirroring a Samsung A20 smartphone display to a television offers a larger viewing experience for various content, including photos, videos, and games. Several methods facilitate this screen mirroring, each with its own advantages and requirements.

Using Smart View (Wireless)

Smart View is a built-in feature on Samsung A20 devices designed for seamless mirroring to compatible Samsung Smart TVs. This method offers a cable-free connection and straightforward setup.

Steps to mirror using Smart View:

Ensure the Samsung A20 and the Smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Swipe down from the top of the A20 screen to access the Quick Panel.
Locate and tap the "Smart View" icon. (If not found, it might be located within the Connections settings.)
The A20 will search for available devices. Select your Smart TV from the list.
The TV may display a PIN code for verification. Enter this code on the A20.
Once connected, the A20's screen will be mirrored to the TV.

Using a Chromecast Device (Wireless)

Chromecast is a versatile streaming device that enables screen mirroring from Android devices, including the Samsung A20. It plugs directly into an HDMI port on the television.

Steps to mirror using Chromecast:

Ensure the Chromecast device is powered on and connected to the TV's HDMI port.
Ensure the Samsung A20 and the Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open the Google Home app on the A20. (Download it if not already installed.)
Select the Chromecast device within the Google Home app.
Tap the "Cast my screen" or "Cast screen" button.
The A20's screen will be mirrored to the TV through the Chromecast.

Using Miracast-Enabled Devices (Wireless)

Miracast is a wireless display standard allowing compatible devices to mirror screens. Some Smart TVs and streaming devices have built-in Miracast support. This method provides a direct connection without requiring a separate app.

Steps to mirror using Miracast:

Ensure the Miracast-enabled device (TV or streaming device) is turned on and its wireless display function is activated. Consult the device's manual for specific instructions.
Ensure the Samsung A20 and the Miracast device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
On the A20, navigate to Settings > Connections > Wireless Display.
The A20 will search for available devices. Select the Miracast device from the list.
The A20's screen will be mirrored to the TV via the Miracast connection.

Using a USB-C to HDMI Adapter (Wired)

A USB-C to HDMI adapter provides a wired connection, offering a stable, lag-free mirroring experience. The Samsung A20 features a USB-C port that supports video output.

Steps to mirror using a USB-C to HDMI adapter:

Connect the USB-C end of the adapter to the Samsung A20's USB-C port.
Connect an HDMI cable to the adapter's HDMI port.
Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to an available HDMI port on the TV.
Switch the TV input to the corresponding HDMI port.
The A20's display should be mirrored on the TV.

Troubleshooting Common Mirroring Issues

Should mirroring issues arise, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

Verify both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and have a stable internet connection for wireless methods.
Restart both the Samsung A20 and the TV or mirroring device.
Check for software updates on both devices. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues.
Ensure the chosen mirroring method is supported by both devices. Consult the manuals for specific compatibility information.
For wired connections, try a different HDMI cable or adapter to rule out faulty hardware.
Ensure that the TV's input source is correctly selected to match the connected HDMI port.

By utilizing these methods and troubleshooting tips, users can effectively mirror their Samsung A20 screen to their television for an enhanced viewing experience.
