How to transfer the screen from Huawei phone to Xiaomi TV: all working ways

Broadcasting your smartphone screen to a large TV screen opens up new possibilities, from watching high-resolution movies to showing presentations or games on Xiaomi TV. However, users often face compatibility problems between devices of different brands - for example, when you need to transfer an image from a Huawei P60 Pro or Mate 50 to a Mi TV Q2 or Redmi Smart Fire TV. In this article, we will discuss all the current methods of connection, including wireless protocols, cable connections and workarounds for cases where standard methods do not work.

The Huawei + Xiaomi pair is unique in that both manufacturers use their own shells (EMUI and MIUI), which sometimes conflict with standard protocols like Miracast or Google Cast. We tested all methods on models from 2022-2026 and identified those that work guaranteed without lags and communication breaks. If you have previously tried unsuccessfully to connect, check network settings, firmware versions and follow our unique recommendations to eliminate Huawei-specific broadcast problems.

1. Wireless broadcast on Miracast (native method)

Miracast is a universal protocol for dubbing screens without the Internet, supported by most modern smartphones and TVs. On Huawei devices it is called Wireless Projection, and on Xiaomi it is called Wireless Projection. TV โ€” Miracast or Screen Mirror: Minimum latency (up to 50ms) and Full support HD.
