Chromecast require Android 4.4.2 and above

as for lag, it's directly proportional to your wifi intenert speed.

I have had no success mirroring screen to a smart tv (I guess it's equivalent to Chromecast). It may work for a minute. Then disconnets. Same with wifi direct. Throw doesn't work at all. But 3rd partu apps like BubbleUpNP work nice with any media files on your phone.
