If you’re using PS4 Remote Play, make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi connection, or you may have issues with any games you play. This app even makes it easy to stream PS4 games to your laptop or Mac. However, there is a problem with the PS4 controller on Android that you should be wary of, and we can help you fix it. For example, my S7 Edge will connect directly to my Samsung smart TV, allowing me to use the phone as a remote, mirror the screen to my handset, or cast content from my phone to the TV. There's no need to download an app to do this with the S7/Edge, but if you don't have the same level of flexibility between your phone and your TV, it's worth.
