How to connect Oppo Reno2 Z to the TV
It is much more convenient to watch videos, photos, films or play games once you have connected the Oppo Reno2 Z to the TV. You can safely sit on the sofa of your home with your friends and have a laugh with the photos of your last birthday party. Let’s go ahead and see how to connect Oppo Reno2 Z to TV.
Use a cable connection (MHL)
Remember that you may not always be able to stream content from your Oppo Reno2 Z to your TV via wireless connectivity. Anyone who wants to avoid problems like these should make a direct connection to the Smart (or normal) TV.
Although it is difficult to find a compact HDMI output for tablets, in the form of mini-HDMI or micro HDMI, it is not necessary for your smartphone. Most phones don’t have enough space for more powerful adapters. This problem can be solved with the expansion of the USB Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) port. MHL 3.0 even allows HDMI transmission of 4K content from mobile devices to Ultra-HD televisions.
How to connect Oppo Reno2 Z to TV using Google Chromecast
Then there is the Google Chromecast. This device allows you to stream content from your Android smartphone or tablet directly to the TV. All you have to do is install the Google Home app, which you will find for free in the Play Store and connect the Chromecast to the TV’s HDMI port.
In the Google Home app menu, select Cast Screen / Audio, then tap the blue button, then select the device you want to connect to.
Alternatively, some devices have a Cast button in the quick settings panel, found by scrolling down from the top of the device screen. If the Cast option is not available, you may be able to add it to the quick settings in your phone’s options.
Connect your Oppo Reno2 Z to a smart TV wirelessly
It’s easy enough to connect Oppo Reno2 Z to a Smart TV thanks to Wi-Fi Direct. It is a standard that allows devices to connect to each other without requiring a wireless access point and allows you to connect your phone to the Smart TV without interruption.
Do you want to broadcast a YouTube video or a Twitch stream? First, you need to enable Wi-Fi Direct on the TV (most modern smart TVs should support it), then open the desired content on the Oppo Reno2 Z, tap the share button and select Wi-Fi Direct. Your TV should appear in the list of devices. Just select it and start broadcasting!
The right app can help
Free streaming applications such as “iMediaShare – Photos and Music” are useful. They allow you to transfer photos, videos and music from your Oppo Reno2 Z or tablet to Smart TV or other DLNA-enabled devices, such as audio systems and set-top boxes. With iMediaShare, you can select by file type and even play videos in automatic succession on your TV. Another option is to install Android apps on the TV itself.
