I tested the wireless Miracast projection/screen sharing from my Huawei Mate 20 Pro smartphone to the LG television with webOS 4.0. It seems to work. Also, it puts the Android 9 (“Pie”) OS into a special desktop mode, so it looks like Windows XP, or something like it. One can use the smartphone itself as a touchpad to input various actions to the big screen. This is all rather nice. On the other hand, this particular “desktop” is so limited and a bit slow, so that I cannot see many people (particularly those with a top-of-the-line smartphone and new smart tv) using it for anything serious.
Looking closer into this, I think the wireless desktop mode is not part of the standard Android 9 experience, but is rather something that Huawei has developed for their top-end phones. Called “Wireless Easy Projection”, this feature is mentioned by e.g. XDA, but I did not find any thorough analysis/test of it from anywhere: https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-mate-20-wireless-easy-projection-hivision-details/
