Learn now how to turn your cell phone into a computer! Check out some ways to do it.
With the advancement of technology, almost anything is possible these days. In fact, users can turn their cell phones into real computers for less than R$1,400. Using a cable, they connect the device to the computer's mouse and keyboard, effectively using it as a PC to perform different tasks on the device.
The feature is ideal for users who do not have a computer or notebook, but need to do some work that would be very laborious using a smartphone, since the keys are small and very close together, making it difficult to type a large text, for example.
It is possible to do this on several cell phones with the Android operating system, as well as iOS with iPhones. Learn now how to do this process, which is very simple, and use your cell phone for different activities, as if it were a computer.
How to turn your cell phone into a computer
You can transform the your cell phone on a computer in a very simple way, by connecting the device to a mouse and keyboard, whether to browse the internet, create spreadsheets, do assignments, edit a Word document and much more. You can do all this for less than R$100.
To do this, you need a way to connect your mouse and keyboard to your phone. The most basic setup for this is to use an OTG adapter, which has a USB-A input and a port that must be the same as your phone's input port.
With the adapter, you will connect your mouse or keyboard, one at a time, since you cannot use both at the same time. This adapter costs around R$15. In addition, the user will need to purchase a mouse and a keyboard, if they do not already have one.
Another solution is to use a dual OTG cable, which allows two accessories, such as a mouse and keyboard, to be used at the same time, making it easier for the user to use and to make life easier. It is important to remember that its port must be the same as the input on your cell phone. This cable has a third input, where a cell phone cable can be connected, so that the device can be charged while you use the device as a computer.
Another configuration is the use of a USB OTG hub, where the user can also connect a computer monitor. It is important to check the monitor input, so that the compatible cable is purchased for this use.
Mirror your phone screen to your TV
Another viable option is to mirror your cell phone screen on your TV, using a wired or wireless connection, giving you full control over it as if it were a computer. This option may be ideal for those who have a project to present but don't have a computer or laptop.
This process can be done on Android and iOS phones, but in different ways, depending on the phone model. Xiaomi phones do not allow a connection via USB-C cable, but this can be done through an online connection, if the user has a smart TV connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the device, connecting it with the “Cast” option.
iPhones also do not allow connection via cable, but the process can be done in the same way as Xiaomi cell phones, connecting the smart TV to the same Wi-Fi network to which the cell phone is connected.
Motorola has Ready For technology, which allows users to connect their phone to a television using a cable. This technology creates an interface with all apps, making the device as close to a computer as possible.
Mirroring the screen of Samsung cell phones is also possible on Smart TVs. To do this, you need to connect the TV to the same Wi-Fi network as your cell phones. The procedure is also possible through Smart Things, software that allows you to control and manage smart electronics via your cell phone and is compatible with the brand's smart TVs.
