Xiaomi Redmi Wireless Display: A Complete Guide to Technology and Setup

If you’ve ever wondered how to stream your Xiaomi Redmi screen to a large wireless TV, then a wireless display feature is exactly what you need. This technology, often referred to as Miracast or Wi-Fi Display, allows you to mirror the contents of a smartphone screen onto compatible devices — from TVs to projectors — without using the help of a smartphone. HDMI-But how does it work in practice? What Redmi models support this feature, and what limitations you might encounter?

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what a wireless display is in the context of Xiaomi smartphones, how to activate it on different models (from the Redmi Note 10 to the Redmi K60), and compare it to alternatives like Google Cast or Samsung/Apple proprietary solutions. You’ll also learn about common problems — for example, why an image can freeze when streaming video in 4K, and how to get around them. If you plan to use this feature for games, streaming or presentations, here you’ll find answers to all the key questions.

What is Wireless Display in Xiaomi Redmi?

Xiaomi Redmi’s wireless display technology is based on the Miracast standard, a protocol for transmitting audio and video over Wi-Fi without an internet connection. Unlike Google Cast (which requires a connection to a single network), Miracast creates a direct connection between the smartphone and the receiver (TV, monitor), making it more versatile but also more hardware-intensive.

In the Xiaomi ecosystem, this feature is integrated into the Settings menu → Connections and Sharing → Wireless Display. It’s important to understand that not all Redmi models support Miracast — for example, budget devices like the Redmi 9A can have limited functionality, and flagship models (such as the Redmi K50 Pro) often offer advanced settings, including streaming resolution choices or reduced latency for games.

• 📱 Supported models: Redmi Note 11/12, Redmi K40/50/60, POCO F4/F5 For the full list, see the table below.
• 🔄 Protocols: Miracast (main), part AirPlay (on some models via third-party apps).
• 🎮 Latency: 50ms (ideal for video) to 200ms (may interfere with gaming).
• 🔋 Energy consumption: Translation to 1080p Battery discharges 15-25% faster than usual.

⚠️ Note: On smartphones with MIUI 13 and later, the wireless display function can automatically shut down when the battery is low (less than 20%). → Exceptions → Wireless display.

What Xiaomi Redmi models support wireless display

The list of compatible devices depends on the version of MIUI and the hardware platform. For example, smartphones on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7xx/8xx chip (for example, Redmi K60) usually support Miracast in full, while budget models on MediaTek Helio G (for example, Redmi 10A) may have reduced functionality or do not support the technology at all.

Here is a table of current data for 2026. Note that even if the model is listed as compatible, the broadcast quality may depend on the firmware version and receiver (TV). For example, Xiaomi Mi TVs usually work better with Redmi than other brands.

If your model is not listed in the table, check the support as follows:

1. Open the settings → About the phone → version of MIUI.
2. Tap 5 times on the item Core to activate the hidden menu.
3. Go to the Developer Settings → Wireless Display.
4. If the option is active, your device supports the technology.

How to connect Xiaomi Redmi to a TV with Wi-Fi Display

The connection process takes no more than 2-3 minutes, but requires compliance with several conditions:

• 📶 The TV must support Miracast (usually 2018 models and newer models).
• 🔄 Smartphone and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network (for some TVs).
• 🔋 Charging the battery of the smartphone – at least 30%.

Step-by-step:

1. On the TV, activate Screen Mirroring mode (on Xiaomi Mi TV it is Settings → Connection → Wireless display).
2. On Xiaomi Redmi smartphone, go to Settings → Connections and Sharing → Wireless display.
3. From the list of available devices, select your TV. If you don't have one, update the list or reboot the router.
4. Confirm the connection on both devices. Some TVs may require input PIN-code.

⚠️ Note: If the image on the TV is displayed with artifacts, try lowering the resolution in the wireless display settings. To do this, after connecting, tap the name of the TV in the list of devices and select 1280×720 instead 1920×1080.

On models with MIUI 14, the option Low Delay Mode appeared, which reduces the lag to 40-50 ms.

Settings → Connection → Wireless Display → ⚙️ (Settings) → Low Delay Mode

Problems and Errors When Using a Wireless Display

Even on supported models, users often face typical problems, and here are the most common ones and how to solve them:

• 🔴 Device not found: Make sure the TV and smartphone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (even if Miracast is used in direct connection mode.
• 🖼️ Black screen on TV: Check if an app (such as Netflix or Disney) is blocking the broadcast+ because DRM). Try to stream other content.
• 🎮 Large delay in games: Activate Low Delay Mode (see above) or lower the resolution to 720p.
• 🔊 No sound: Some TVs have separate audio transmissions. Check the TV audio output settings.

If the connection is permanently broken, the cause may be:

• Weak Wi-Fi signal (moving closer to the router)
• Conflict IP-Addresses (reboot router).
• Outdated firmware on a smartphone or TV (update the software).

On the Redmi models with MIUI 12 and older in system logs (Settings) → The phone. → Error logs, you can find detailed information about connection failures. WFD (Wireless Display).

Comparison with alternatives: Miracast vs Google Cast vs AirPlay

Miracast technology used in Xiaomi Redmi is not the only way to broadcast wirelessly, and let’s look at its key differences from its competitors:

When to choose Miracast:

• 🎮 For gaming (less latency than Google Cast).
• 📺 For broadcasting on TVs without internet.
• 💻 To duplicate the screen on Windows PC (through Connection to a wireless display).

When to choose alternatives:

• 🎬 For streaming. Netflix/YouTube (Better than Google Cast).
• 🍎 If you have an Apple device (AirPlay only).
• 🔄 If you need to stream from multiple devices at the same time.

💡

If you stream content from Xiaomi Redmi to your TV often, consider buying the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick.It supports both Miracast and Google Cast, and also has a built-in Google Assistant for voice control.

Optimizing Wireless Display for Games and Video

If you plan to use a wireless display for gaming (like Call of Duty Mobile or Genshin Impact) or watching high-resolution video, follow these guidelines:

• 🎮 For games: Activate Low Delay Mode (see above). Set the broadcast resolution to 1280×720 Connect the gamepad via Bluetooth directly to your smartphone (not to TV!).
• 🎥 For video: Use maximum resolution (1080p or 4K, Close the background apps to free up RAM. For YouTube, it's better to use Google Cast (quality higher).

On Redmi models with Snapdragon 8xx processor (e.g. Redmi K60), performance can be further optimized:

Settings → Additional → Performance Mode → Select “Games”

This will reduce the background activity of the system and allocate more resources for broadcasting.

💡

For maximum broadcast stability, use a router with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and a 5GHz channel. This will reduce the number of artifacts and connection breaks.

Security and privacy when using Wi-Fi Display

Miracast broadcasts create direct communication between devices, which could theoretically be vulnerable to data interception.

• 🔒 Turn off the broadcast when it is not needed (in the Wireless Display menu, click Disable).
• 📶 Don’t use public Wi-Fi to connect – attackers can intercept traffic.
• 🛡️ Update firmware on your smartphone and TV (fix vulnerabilities in Miracast).
• 👁️ Check Connected Devices: Wireless display settings display a list of all previously connected TVs.

Starting with MIUI 14, Xiaomi added the option of Request Confirmation on Connection, which requires input PIN-And then you have to use the code for each new connection:

→ Connection settings → Wireless display → ⚙️ → Security → Request PIN

⚠️ Note: Some applications (e.g., banking or instant messengers) may block the screen from broadcasting for security reasons, in which case the TV screen will display a black rectangle instead of the content of the application.
