It doesn't appear so: Samsung Galaxy S ® 6, 32GB†, (T-Mobile), Gold Platinum

I have not seen an HDMI port on a phone in quite some time. Samsung used to have Micro USB to HDMI adapters, but I am not sure if they are still in production.

Just get a Chromecast dongle and you will be able to cast your screen to your TV wirelessly.

My original moto razr maxx had it, and i was disappointed when they quit. I asked why and was told wireless was advanced enough it wasnt needed anymore.

They are still available from Samsung or third party.

Actually, is the S6 on the compatibility list for that?

Compatible with Chromecast?
Why wouldn't it be?

No HDMI, but I believe it comes with a VGA port.

Because Google doesn't enable Chromecast for screen mirroring from all devices by default. Only a certain list. I don't know if the GS6 is on the list or not. You need screen mirroring to have HDMI like functionality.

Since the S4 is compatible with screen mirroring, I'm sure they'll get the S6 on that list.

Re: galaxy s6

Is this a standard MHL adaptor like an HTC One uses? Or is this a special Samsung adaptor I am looking for? A link perhaps? Thanks.

Re: galaxy s6

The specs here show microUSB v2.0 (MHL 3 TV Out) for the S6: http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6-6849.php

And the following link shows the cable available for purchase: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...s-accessories%2FET-H10FAUWESTA&token=aHncFg87

I'm assuming that the S6 will be able to utilize USB-to-HDMI based on the above, but don't hold me to that...

Re: galaxy s6

That cable at the Samsung site does not list the S6 as compatible. Only S3 thru S5. Dont know if that means it does not work or if they have not updated the site yet.

I have tried multiple MHL Adapters, including the Samsung HDTV Adapter (ET-H10FAUWEGWW), on the S6 and it currently is not supported. Looks like for an S6, Chromecast may be the better option at this time.
