Dual sim android phone with MHL?

Any suggestions? MHL seems to be something that doesn't get mentioned in manufacturer's specs and yet it is pretty much vital to me.

I'm prepared to pay whatever it takes to get what I want.

TIA

Well this is the list of supported devices from the MHL consortium:

No idea if it's up to date though.

The Samsung S5 does have it (see under comms/USB)

But later Samsungs don't seem to support it, which would tend to indicate it's a legacy interface that's not supported much. Even the Wikipedia page doesn't have any information past 2015. Maybe USB-C has taken over?

Here's a slightly more recent artcile which does indicate that casting took over & video over USB-C is the way forward:

Thanks for that info.

I've tried my phone (a new Samsung A40) with my smart tv at home. it connects ok but playing YouTube through it results in constant interruptions to the sound. It's as if it can't cope with streaming YouTube and sending a signal to the TV as well. Watching on just the phone the sound and picture are fine.

I bought a usb-c to HDMI adapter but discovered that this phone doesn't have the necessary MHL. Also the tv in my workshop is not a smart tv but does have an HDMI input. I'm paying EE an extra £9 to have unlimited YouTube Netflix and Amazon Prime without affecting my data allowance (a cracking good deal IMO) but watching on my phone screen isn't practical.

I thought about a Chromecast but am worried that I would get the same result as with a smart tv, so a cable solution seems a better bet.

On a Chromecast you're not actually casting from the phone for streaming services, it sends a link to the Chromecast which fetches and streams it independently of the handset (you could start a movie, go elsewhere with the phone, and it'll still be going if you return before it finishes.
I thought smart TV's were the same - mine is 5yo but I can cast from YouTube/Netflix/iplayer on my phone and the TV will then use the inbuilt apps.

I'm starting to think this is the way to go. I've watched some videos about the Dex and it looks good.

One quick question, if you are watching a YouTube video on an attached tv, what happens when a call or a text comes in?
