Any android phone can be mirrored to an android TV via the Google home app (or even better via casting directly from any app supporting it I.e. Google photo for sharing media). Miracast is not supported anymore so Dex specific features won't be available, btw miracast was always a flakey "standard" that didn't work 50% of the times

Via Google home app you can mirror the entire screen of your phone https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6059461?hl=it (this is in Italian but you can find the English equivalent)

A lot of other apps have a direct casting feature not only photo but surely excel doesn't and you need casting the entire screen.

I am also using a Sony KD-55X85J TV and unfortunately it does not have the screen mirroring option at all and it seems to be a software problem because once I installed a program that caused a software shock and I found the screen mirroring option in the inactive programs section. Unfortunately, there was no option to activate it, and I had to do a factory reset, after which I couldn't find it at all.

If your problem is solved, please send your solution to this email address

@Paulis

Dex is Samsung proprietary. It only works with Samsung TVs.
