Connecting your phone to your TV has several benefits, including being able to stream your favorite shows or movies directly from your phone. If you're a traditionalist, you can connect your Galaxy A8 to your TV with an old-fashioned HDMI cable and a converter for your phone's micro USB port.

You can also use a Chromecast USB stick if you prefer to connect wirelessly to the TV.

How to connect Samsung Galaxy A8 to TV using an HDMI cable converter

Purchase a micro USB to HDMI converter. Your phone's charging port, also known as the micro USB socket, doesn't support the same cable that interfaces with your TV by default, so you'll need to purchase a converter.

Please make sure your device is compatible with your chosen cable before purchasing. You can do this by typing the device name and cable name into a search engine and reviewing the results. If you don't already have an HDMI cable, buy one doesn't cost more than 5 euros online.

Connect the small end of the converter to your Android. This should be plugged into the charging port at the bottom of the phone. Connect your HDMI cable to your converter. The HDMI cable fits on the opposite end of the converter.

Connect the HDMI cable to the TV. The trapezoidal-shaped HDMI ports should be on the back of the TV. HDMI ports usually have the word "HDMI" printed next to them. Make a note of which input is listed under the HDMI port (for example, Video 3).

The converter can be supplied with a USB power cable. If your TV doesn't have a readily available USB port near the HDMI port, you can connect the USB power cable to your Android charger.

Turn on your TV. Change your TV's input to the relevant HDMI port. How you do this will depend on your TV model, but you can usually do this by pressing the "Input" or "Source" button on the top or side of the TV.

For example, if the HDMI port is “Video 3”, you need to change the displayed input of the TV to “Video 3”. Wait for your Android screen to appear. If you don't see your Android screen reflected on your TV after a few seconds, you should restart your device.

How to connect Samsung Galaxy A8 to TV via Chromecast

Make sure you have both a Chromecast unit and mobile app. You can buy Chromecast on Amazon for around € 30. The relevant app, “Google Home”, is a free download from the Google Play Store on your phone.

Connect the Chromecast stick to the TV. It should fit into your TV's HDMI port. You'll also need to plug the included Chromecast power cable into both the back of the unit and the USB charger (which should be plugged into an electrical outlet).

Open the Chromecast app. Set up new Chromecast. Exit the Chromecast app. Open your network settings. These should be in the Settings app. Tap the “Chromecast” option. Reopen the Chromecast app. Tap Next. Confirm that the code on your TV matches the one on your phone.

Configure your Chromecast. This includes the following processes:

Selecting a country
Add a name to the Chromecast (optional)
Adding a wireless network to the Chromecast

Open an app that supports screencasting. Netflix and YouTube both fit this criterion. Tap the screencast icon. This is the rectangular icon with a series of curved lines in the lower left corner.

Tap Chromecast. If you've given your Chromecast a name, this name will appear here. Wait for your phone screen to appear on your TV.

This may take a few seconds. Once your screen has been successfully shared, you can use your phone to pause, skip forward or change the volume of your content.
