I'm an Android novice. I want to determine if my Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2017) supports MHL. Two obvious ways of doing this are:

  1. Consult the manual.
  2. Connect the tablet to an HDMI display using an MHL adapter, and try it!

But, I don't see any mention of MHL in the manual, and I don't have an MHL adapter. Is there any way I can tell from within the Android OS if my device supports MHL?

    If it is not mentioned in manual, it won't. Won't they like to publish all features ?

  • A little Google search brought up the device specs which explicitly state: No MHL for this device.

Perhaps you should try checking here first: MHL Devices

Another way is using a third party tool: Checker for MHL (HDMI)

  • @wbogacz It was me who provided the link. And the details are "no support for MHL". In case you don't know the site: GSMArena lists the device specs for many devices. Makes no sense to include them all with the answer – and the essential part (no MHL support) was included already ;)
