How to transfer the screen of Samsung to the TV Xiaomi: all ways

Broadcasting a Samsung smartphone screen to a Xiaomi TV is a challenge that users face when watching videos, presentations or games on the big screen. Despite the fact that both devices run on Android, their firmware (One UI from Samsung and MIUI TV from Xiaomi) have features that can complicate the process. In this article, we will discuss all the current methods, from built-in functions to third-party applications, including solutions for older models without Miracast.

It is important to understand that the success of the broadcast depends on three factors: the version of Android on the smartphone (minimum — Android 10), the model of Xiaomi TV (support for Miracast or Google Cast) and the stability of the Wi-Fi network. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S22 with One UI 5.1 will easily connect to the Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 2023, but owners of the Galaxy A10 (Android 9) will have to use workarounds.

If you've tried to stream a screen before and you've encountered errors like "Device Unconnected" or "Device Unsupported," in this article you'll find solutions. We've tested all of these methods on real devices and we've shown the only way that works even when you don't have Wi-Fi is through a USB-C/HDMI adapter that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.

1. Method: Built-in Smart View (Miracast)

The most reliable method for modern devices is the use of the Miracast protocol, which is supported by all Xiaomi TVs since 2018 and Samsung smartphones on Android 10+.

2. On a Samsung smartphone: 📱 Swipe down to open the notification panel. 🔍 Find the Smart View icon (or Screen Transfer in older versions). 📺 Choose your Xiaomi TV list. ✅ Confirm the connection on both devices.

If the TV is not on the list, check:

• 🔌 Both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (or use Wi-Fi Direct).
• 📶 The TV has enabled the “Visibility for all” mode in Miracast settings.
• 🔄 Restart router – sometimes blocking multicast traffic interferes with detection.
