Watching a blockbuster movie or scrolling through your vacation photos is always better on a 55-inch display than a 6-inch screen. If you have an Infinix or itel Smart TV (or any Android-based TV), connecting your phone is simpler than ever in 2026.

Here is your complete guide to screen casting, mirroring your gallery, and using your TV like a pro.


๐Ÿ“ก Method 1: The "Screen Cast" (Mirror Everything)

This is the best way to show exactly what is on your phone screen—perfect for social media scrolling or showing a presentation.

  1. Same Wi-Fi: Ensure your Android phone and your Smart TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

     
  2. Quick Settings: Swipe down from the top of your phone screen to open the Quick Settings panel.

     
  3. Find the Icon: Look for an icon labeled Cast, Screen Cast, or Smart View (on Samsung devices).

     
  4. Select Your TV: Your TV’s name (e.g., Infinix-X1-TV or itel-Smart-TV) will appear. Tap it.

     

  5. Start Now: Grant permission on your phone, and your mobile screen will instantly mirror onto the TV.


๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Method 2: Casting Your Gallery (Photos & Videos)

If you only want to show specific photos or videos without revealing your entire phone's home screen or private notifications, use the Cast feature inside apps.

  • Google Photos: Open a photo or video, look for the Cast icon (a rectangle with Wi-Fi bars in the corner) at the top, and select your TV.

  • Direct Gallery Play: Many Infinix and itel phones have a "Cast" button built directly into the default gallery app. When you open a photo, look for a "Play on TV" or "Cast" option in the menu.


๐Ÿ“ฑ Method 3: Using the Google Home App (Universal)

If your phone doesn't have a built-in "Cast" button in the settings, the Google Home app is your best friend.

 

  1. Download the Google Home app from the Play Store.

  2. Tap on your TV’s name in the device list.

  3. Tap "Cast my screen" at the bottom. This works perfectly for all Chromecast-enabled TVs, including the latest Infinix and itel models.


๐Ÿš€ Method 4: Best Apps for Infinix & itel TVs

Specific TVs often come with pre-installed "Server" apps that make the connection even smoother:

  • EShare: Many itel and Infinix TVs use the EShare ecosystem. Download the EShare client on your phone. It allows you to:

    • Mirror your screen.

    • Use your phone as a TV Remote.

    • Stream local music and videos with zero lag.

  • Miracast: If you don't have Wi-Fi, some TVs allow a direct Miracast connection (peer-to-peer), though Wi-Fi is generally more stable.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Troubleshooting: Why won't my TV connect?

  • 2.4GHz vs 5GHz: If your router has two bands, make sure both devices are on the exact same one.

  • Power Saving Mode: Turn off "Battery Saver" on your phone, as it often kills the wireless casting process to save energy.

  • Update System: Ensure your itel or Infinix TV is running the latest firmware. Go to Settings > Device Preferences > About > System Update.
