For example, among those that only need the Internet is the Smart View function.
This application offers us thousands of possibilities for connectivity between our devices, mobiles, televisions, tablets, and computers, and the interconnection only needs all to share the same WIFI. network.
Although Smart View is for specific brands and works exclusively through them, there are also many others you can try for Android devices and you can find them in Play Store.
With them, you can connect the mobile phone to the television, share your device’s screen, and watch all the videos—even movies—you want, as well as share the content you like.
You can also connect the tablet to the television or duplicate the mobile phone’s screen on the television and thus use the applications you have installed, like Netflix or HBO, to watch the series you want.
How to connect the tablet to your television?
As you can imagine, turning your television into the screen of your mobile phone or tablet opens a world of possibilities as vast as the uses you usually give your devices.

The Android Box is controlled through a television remote and, being, as its name indicates, Android, it will have installed or you can download the applications you want.
