Mobile High Definition Link (MHL)
The Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) is the most common and simplest connection method used in Sony TVs and phones. With the MHL application, users can enjoy media content from their phones on the TV with the original resolution, even if the content is in 4K. However, this function requires an Android phone that is supported from version 2.3 onwards and an additional dedicated MHL cable. In addition to allowing you to watch entertainment content from your smartphone on a larger screen, MHL also provides the convenience of charging your phone.
Screen Mirroring for convenient wireless sharing
Screen mirroring allows you to display the content from your phone’s screen on the TV, enhancing your entertainment experience. For example, if you are watching Full HD content on your Sony Xperia Z1, and the 5-inch screen of the phone is not enough, you can “transform” the movie onto the larger screen of the Sony TV through the screen mirroring feature, while maintaining Full HD resolution.
Photo Share – Browse and share without Internet
If you have a beautiful photo taken from the high-quality camera of your Sony Xperia Z2, and you want to share it with others, using the Photo Share feature is a convenient option. By turning on the Photo Share command on the TV and following the instructions, you can easily share images with your friends without needing an internet connection. This feature supports sharing images at their original size, including 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels).
One Touch – Super fast one-touch connection
If your Sony Xperia smartphone supports NFC technology, you can use the One Touch feature to quickly transfer data to another device with just a light touch. For TVs that support remote One-Touch, you can easily touch and share all data to the TV through the remote One- flick, without any additional operations. However, the remote One- flick is usually sold separately, and Sony Xperia phones with NFC support tend to be more expensive.
