The most common formats on smartphones are the mini-HDMI or micro-HDMI. Also, you need to be sure that your television is equipped with such a technology as well. This is most certainly the case if the TV coupled to your Echo Star is less than five to ten years old.
Many apps in the Play Store of your Echo Star will help you to make the connection, however the Android system installed on your Echo Star should by default be able to link your Echo Star to your TV.
MHL and SlimPort to connect your Echo Star to your TV
Your Echo Star may not have an HDMI port.
An alternative is available: use Mobile High Definition Link or MHL or SlimPort.
We recommend that you use the SlimPort as it does not need an additional power source.
However, make sure your Echo Star is compatible with this technology, such as visiting an authorized dealer or an expert on your Echo Star.
The HMI system remains a good alternative, with resolutions that can approach the 4K. In any case, you will also have to check that your television is compatible with these technologies.
If so, you should see small logos stating its standards on the back of your TV. Do not worry if your TV is not compatible, you will always have the choice to buy an additional adapter between it and your Echo Star.
