HDMI streaming to TV from Android phone

Locked

Tags: Smartphones

Hi, Newbie here.

I presently have a Samsung S5 SM-G900F I use it a lot as a storage device to play Netflix movies etc onto a TV when away from home, via the USB/HDMI socket, it works well ,and I like the phone, so much this is my third one, but they all seem to eventually have camera issues which freezes the phone, basically a PITA so I end up getting another one.

I cant afford the expense of a newer one, and am wondering if you guys could help me find another decent quality phone at a sensible price, Sub £100 which has a decent camera, will take a 128gb micro SD card, and will stream to TV via the USB/HDMI socket.

Here’s hoping.

Oh dear, I thought there would be a flood of answers for this question 🙁 🙁

Have you thought about..

completely resetting your current phone back to factory settings and then trying it again? vs buying a new phone? Maybe fixing the issue might be cheaper.

Hi, yes all been done, even tried the more aggressive cures for it, with zero results just wasted time having to reinstall apps, but it is an inherent problem.

So I am still looking for a phone capable of HDMI streaming to TV.

To be honest I would have thought there were loads of phones out there and others using them in a similar way, seems not from the responses 🙁 🙁
