So, I haven't had a tablet in a while and have always wanted to find a way to mirror my phone to a tablet, if possible.

Since the Note 8 release seems like it'll be right around the corner (well, hopefully), I decided to do a little digging and look what I found!

I can't wait to try this out on the Note 2 to Note 8 and vice versa! This will save me from needing to connect my Note 8 tablet to my work exchange, if it works the way that I hope it does.
 
You could try it now between your two Notes. Also, this could be a way to wirelessly attach to a TV via one of those usb Android mini computers or something.

Thanks so much! Didn't realize that the tablet version would end up being compatible.

Tried it last night. It's just "ok". It doesn't really "mirror" the phone either. It connects via bluetooth and pushes a page from the phone to the tablet, but once the page is on the tablet, it's not really "interactive" like a normal webpage. Would it be handy?...Yes, if I was maybe trying to read an email and wanted to see the whole email vs. just a small portion (using zoom).

It will definitely be much better, once they figure out how to make it a "true" mirror, where once you've sync'd up the devices, you'd be able to interact on the tablet like you would on the phone. Not sure that's even possible though.

Didn't get much time to mess around with it, but I can see where it would be handy for a lot of people.
