Your favorites streamed with ease
Samsung Smart View transforms your mobile device into a media hub, enabling you to mirror and control content on your Samsung Smart TV effortlessly. The app excels in screen mirroring capabilities, supporting resolutions up to 1080p on compatible devices, and offers a convenient control experience, making it an ideal choice for users looking to enhance their viewing sessions with local media.
Samsung Smart View allows you to stream local media—including photos, videos, and music—from your device directly to your TV, ensuring easy access to personal content. However, the app does not reliably support streaming from DRM-protected services like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney+, due to digital rights restrictions. The intuitive interface facilitates quick navigation and provides access to basic TV controls such as volume, playback, and channel adjustments, streamlining your viewing experience.
Smooth playback for your personal content
A remote that fits in your pocket
With simplicity in mind, Samsung Smart View connects to compatible Samsung Smart TV models from 2011 onward, making setup straightforward. Clear instructions guide users through establishing a connection within minutes. While the app itself does not include built-in accessibility features such as screen readers or high-contrast modes, users can rely on accessibility options provided by their Samsung TVs and mobile devices. Voice control is not integrated into the app but supported Samsung TVs offer voice assistants like Bixby for hands-free operation.
Compatibility made clear
To enjoy the best experience with Samsung Smart View, ensure that you own a compatible Samsung Smart TV (2011 to 2015 models are fully supported). The app runs on mobile devices and PC platforms, but in its current state, it is no longer available on first-party mobile app stores. A stable Wi-Fi connection is essential for smooth streaming and mirroring, with both the TV and device required to be on the same network.
From Smart View to SmartThings and beyond
Samsung Smart View has been discontinued, replaced by more powerful tools. SmartThings now handles TV control and streaming with deep ecosystem integration. Samsung Flow enables cross-device sharing and mirroring, while DeX offers a desktop-like experience on larger screens. Modern Samsung TVs also support Miracast and Screen Sharing natively, ensuring seamless connectivity without the need for standalone apps.
A look back at Smart View’s role in streaming
Samsung Smart View provided a robust solution for mirroring and controlling content on your TV. Its combination of intuitive design, compatibility with various devices, and integration within the Samsung ecosystem makes it a valuable tool for users seeking seamless connectivity. However, innovation in technology opened better programs that do the same function. Those who still have it on their devices are now enjoying its legacy.
