“Starting today, you can mirror your Android phone and tablet to the TV so you can see your favorite apps, photos or anything else, exactly as you see it on your mobile device—only bigger,” Ambarish Kenghe, Chromecast Product Manager and Cast Master wrote on Chrome blog.
According to Google, the mirroring feature is still in beta but publically available for popular Android devices like all Nexus devices, Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, One M7, LG G3, G2 and G Pro 2. The search giant has promised to add support for more devices in the coming days.
