Does Motorola Phone have a Screen Mirroring Feature? Which Models Are Unable to Use?

Yes. Most modern Motorola smartphones come equipped with screen mirroring.

But to tell which models do not support the feature, it can be confirmed that models before 2013 are not compatible. For example:

• Moto E series (e.g., Moto E4, Moto E5, Moto E6)
• Moto C series (e.g., Moto C, Moto C Plus)
• Moto G series (e.g., Moto G4 or Moto G5)
• Moto X series (e.g., Moto X 2014, Moto X Pure Edition)

The screen mirroring feature (i.e., Miracast) was first introduced to Android OS 4.2 in 2013. That is, if the Motorola device that supports old Android versions and was produced before 2013 does not have a screencast built-in.
