Screen mirroring to non smart tv with data

    Hello

    I'm looking to screen mirror my android Samsung S8 phone to a non smart LG tv.

    The tv has hdmi ports and one usb port so I imagine a dongle of some sorts.

    I'm also looking to use cellular data as I have no wifi.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance...

    Ok. Thanks for that. Sounds good.

    Any recommendations on which type if there are types?

    And definitely don't need wifi? The data from the phone is enough?

    Thanks again.

    And, if you know, the miracast or chromcast dongles won't work? Looking to keep things cheap and cheerful as possible.

    if you don't have WiFi, you'd have to use your phone as a hotspot so the chromecast has a network to connect to.

    I might be wrong , but think all them have/should WiFi. Once you have no other internet connection means except phone - this would be one of main feature you pay attention before buy.
