Yes, but not all Samsung Galaxy. For the recent smart Samsungs, you can connect wirelessly without Chromecast or an HDMI cable by using Samsung Dex or directly mirroring your screen onto your TV. And those have to be TVs that support casting. If you have old TVs, you can use Chromecast or HDMI to mirror your smartphone on your TV.

Question
What should I do if enabling screen mirroring isn't an option on my Android?
Community Answer
Depending on the TV you have if you were using a smart TV, it may not be worded in that manner or under screen mirroring. Reference the make and model number of the TV, and ask if that model has any capability of that nature. If you don't have it, or can't find the manual on it, the easiest thing to do is search for it online.

You'll need to have your Samsung Galaxy fairly close to your TV in order for the cast to work. If you experience connection issues, try moving closer to your TV.

Mirroring your screen will quickly drain your battery. Be sure to monitor your battery consumption rate and, if necessary, plug your phone into a charger.
