Most answers here, about HDMI support, is wrong.

Typical question is like: does my phone supports HDMI cable connection?

And typical answer is: no. Your phone doesn't have USB 3.1, just USB 2.0, so you have to use Chromecast.

Especially Xiaomi community here is full of wrong answers, as most of Xiaomi phones does have only USB 2.0 interface.

But the truth is: ALMOST ALL Android devices, phones or tablets, is possible to connect through HDMI cable.

To be more specific: if your phone / tablet

  1. runs on Android 5 (Lollipop) or newer,
  2. if does have USB 2.0 interface - no matter the connector - Micro USB or USB-C,
  3. and supports the OTG,

then there is almost 100% probability you can connect your phone to TV using the particular HDMI adapter and cable - Chromecast is not your only option.

So, as these three requirements meets almost all phones and tablets sold nowadays, most answers is simply wrong. Or, not fully correct, at least.

Thanks for paying attention.

(I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but
