How to Screen Share Your Pictures and Videos from a Samsung Galaxy A10s to an LG Smart TV

If you have a Samsung Galaxy A10s and an LG Smart TV, you may want to share your pictures and videos with ease. Unfortunately, if your LG TV doesn't have inbuilt or follow-come screen mirroring app, you have several alternative methods to achieve this. Here's a detailed guide on how to do it.

Using a Chromecast Device

If your LG Smart TV does not support screen mirroring, a Chromecast device is a great option for real-time sharing.

Set Up Chromecast:

Connect the Chromecast device to your TV’s HDMI port and power it on. Ensure your phone and Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Cast from Your Phone:

Open the Google Photos app on your Samsung Galaxy A10s. Select the photo or video you want to share. Tap the Cast icon, usually a small rectangle with a Wi-Fi symbol in the corner. Select your Chromecast device from the list. The selected media will display on your TV.

Using an HDMI Adapter

Another method is to use an HDMI adapter to connect your phone directly to your TV.

Get a Compatible Adapter:

MHL or USB-C to HDMI adapter is compatible with your Samsung Galaxy A10s.

Connect the Adapter:

Connect the adapter to your phone. Connect an HDMI cable from the adapter to one of the HDMI ports on your TV. Select the corresponding HDMI input on your TV.

Display Your Media:

Your phone’s screen will be mirrored on your TV. Open the Gallery or any media app to show your pictures and videos.

Using DLNA Apps

If your TV supports DLNA, you can use apps that allow you to stream content over the network. This method requires no additional hardware and is ideal for wireless streaming.

Install a DLNA App:

Download a DLNA app like BubbleUPnP or AllCast from the Google Play Store.

Connect to Your TV:

Open the app and ensure your phone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network. Follow the app’s instructions to find your TV and connect.

Stream Your Media:

Select the photos or videos you want to display and stream them directly to your TV.

Using a USB Drive

For those who prefer not to use wireless methods, you can transfer your media to a USB drive.

Transfer Media:

Connect a USB drive to your Samsung Galaxy A10s using a USB OTG adapter. Move the pictures and videos you want to share to the USB drive.

Connect to TV:

Plug the USB drive into your LG Smart TV’s USB port. Use the TV’s media player to browse and play the files.

Conclusion

Choose the method that best suits your setup and preferences. Using a Chromecast or HDMI adapter is usually the most straightforward for real-time sharing, while DLNA apps are excellent for wireless streaming without additional hardware.
