Samsung Allshare Hub

Samsung aims for a high level of connectivity between its devices. If you own a Samsung smart TV, mirroring shouldn’t be especially difficult. But what if you haven’t upgraded to a smart TV yet?

In this case, you will need to buy the Samsung Allshare Hub. This device serves as an intermediary between your phone and your television.

Here’s how you can connect and mirror your Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro via the Allshare Hub.

Connect the Allshare Hub with your TV via HDMI cable.
Open the Main Menu of your TV.
Find and enable the Allshare Hub.
Unlock your Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro.
Connect your phone to the Allshare Hub’s Wi-Fi network.
On the Home screen, swipe down from the top to open the Status Bar Menu.
Swipe down once more to expand it.
Find the Smart View/Screen Mirroring option (depending on the OS version, your phone will have either Screen Mirroring or Smart View) and tap it.
The phone will show you the list of available devices, pick the Samsung Allshare Hub.
Wait for the devices to synchronize.

HDMI Dongle

Here is another wireless method you can use. In this case, you will need to purchase and install a HDMI dongle, such as the one by Chromecast.

There are many options out there and the details may vary, but the setup is largely the same. Here’s how to cast your Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro’s screen via a HDMI dongle:

Plug the dongle into the TV’s HDMI port.
Make sure the dongle is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Activate the dongle from your TV’s menu.
Unlock your Galaxy J7 Pro.
Make sure it is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the dongle.
On the Home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
Swipe down once more to expand it.
Find the Smart View icon and tap it.
You will then see the list of available devices. Find and tap the dongle connected on your TV.
Wait for the devices to synchronize. Your phone’s screen should appear on the TV in a few seconds.

SideSync

What if you need to mirror to your computer instead of television? The SideSync app supports a wide selection of Androids, including the Galaxy J7 Pro. Before you can start mirroring, make sure the app is installed on both your PC and your phone. Then, connect to your Wi-Fi with both devices and establish a connection between them.
