Androidpc.es put online the tests performed with some of the low-cost Miracast dongle available on the international market (read: Chinese) with prices ranging from 22 to 30 euro. The smartphone Google is being used as a guinea pig for flexible and easy to find, but also because among the few with Android 4.4 Kitkat. The results are not good: only one of the four tested Miracast dongle can not connect and keep the signal in a convincing way. In detail.

test androidpc.es is a complete failure, mainly due to missing optimizations for Android 4.4. Are there new firmware update for expanding compatibility Miracast dongle, but there are certain dates and times reliable. In the field of adapters Miracast follow the same rules as non-Mini PC Android, so we just have to take and assess what is at the moment. Some of the dongle Miracast mentioned in the article are also sold under different names, under another brand, use MediaTek SoC and Rockchip, then cover the shades available.

These devices are very cheap, but also suitable only for experienced people, who knows the reset procedures, knows how to move and play around with upgrades including custom rom and drivers. All the others would do well to wait for more mature products. I’m coming models “brand”, a thread more expensive but also more complete and stable. The latest ASUS Miracast Dongle (with WiFi Dual Band) and Lenovo adapters are exactly WD100 Miracast to which I refer, but also the various Netgear already on the market should give better results.
