In such a scenario, being able to cast your screen becomes a little difficult. Enjoying the photos, videos etc on the big screen is an entirely different experience altogether. To help you with this, we have compiled a list of the best mobile phone connectors for TV, Wireless Display and Video Casting in India.
Chromecast
We have the Chromecast in the top spot in our list here. The device, launched by Google and released in a wide number of markets, changed the entire wireless TV dongles market. Sure, there may have been other affordable dongles out there, but none got the market going as much as Chromecast did.

Additionally, there’s a free Chromecast app available in the Play Store and iOS App store.Use Chromecast from your laptop or computer as well, if you use the Google Chrome web browser. For this purpose, you will have to download the free Google Cast extension.

Cons
Teewe 2
The original TeeWe was launched at a price of Rs. 1,999, when Chromecast was still not available in India. Mango Man, the makers of TeeWe have since then launched the second version of their wireless tv dongle called the TeeWe 2 at Rs. 2,399.
Key Features
Indian users may not actually like the support (or the lack thereof) for Indian services in Chromecast. To fill in this gap, TeeWe was launched. The latest version is TeeWe 2, launched at an attractive price of Rs. 2,399. It supports a wide range of Indian services as well as YouTube. TeeWe 2 will also get you access to a host of premium Indian content. You can also play locally stored content, whether or not you have a working internet connection.
