How To Use a PlayStation 4 Controller with Your Android Phone or Chromebook
Mobile gaming controls have come a long way, with gaming phones like the new Razer Phone 2 even being able to mimic shoulder buttons with haptic feedback. There’s nothing like a full controller though, especially for long gaming sessions.
The PlayStation 4 controller is a natural fit for your smartphone or Chromebook since it connects right over Bluetooth. Fortunately, it’s straightforward to connect and get your game on!
How to Connect the PS4 Controller to Your Smartphone
Start by opening the Settings app and then head to the Bluetooth settings. On Google’s phones, this is under “Connected Devices,” while Samsung phones list it under “Connections.”
Select “Pair new device.” On your PS4 controller, hold down the “SHARE” and PlayStation-logo buttons until the lightbar begins flashing.
Back on your phone, select “Wireless Controller” from the list of available Bluetooth devices.
