When we first got our Google Pixel phones in 2021, there was no way to cast from the phone to a TV. No icon nor setting. It didn't matter because we did not have a smart TV.
We are in the process of buying a smart TV. My husband thought he would buy a new cell phone so that he could do some casting. We visited Verizon today with the objective of purchasing a new phone for him.
Fortunately, we started the discussion by mentioning the inability to cast. That is no longer true. As long as the version on the cell phone is Android 8.0 or above, there is a way to cast under connections. His phone is currently Android 13.0. The sales rep just typed in cast under the Search box in settings and the relevant setting popped right up. I had used mirroring on my old Samsung and was looking for that kind of icon.
We saved money today because we stayed with his old phone. We are all set for our new TV.
