How to broadcast a screen from Xiaomi phone to Samsung TV: all ways with a photo

You want to show pictures from your vacation on the big screen, run a mobile game on your TV or stream a movie with Xiaomi on a Samsung Smart TV, but you don’t know how to do it without extra wires? This problem is familiar to many owners of two brands of technology — despite the popularity of both, their ecosystems are not always perfectly compatible. Unlike broadcasting between devices of the same brand (for example, Samsung Galaxy → Samsung TV), there are often nuances with communication protocols, software versions and network settings.

The main difficulty is that Xiaomi uses its own wireless technologies (for example, Miracast and Google Cast), and Samsung in new TV models prefers AirPlay 2 standard (for Apple devices) and proprietary Smart View solution. Fortunately, there are at least 5 working ways of synchronization, including universal methods for old and new models. In this article, we will discuss each of them – from the simplest (via Wi-Fi Direct) to advanced (using external adapters).

1.Broadcast via Smart View (for Samsung TV 2018 and newer)

If your Samsung Released TV is after 2018 (QLED, Crystal UHD, The Frame, etc.), it supports Smart View, a proprietary Miracast equivalent that can receive signals from Android devices, including Xiaomi. This method does not require additional hardware, but only works under three conditions:

• 📱 Phone: Xiaomi on MIUI 12+ (or Redmi/POCO with Android 10+)
• 📺 TV: Samsung on Tizen 5.0+ (check in Settings → Support → About TV)
• 📶 Network: both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (or Wi-Fi Direct is used)

Instructions for connection:

1. On a Samsung TV, open the Control Panel (Source button on the remote) and select Smart View.
2. On your Xiaomi phone, swipe down from the top edge of the screen to open the notification bar, and click Broadcast (or Wireless Display in English firmware).
3. In the list of available devices, select the name of your TV (e.g. UE55QN90B).
4. Confirm the connection on both devices. The TV may have permission requests — click Allow.

Both devices are charged (phone ≥30%, TV connected to network)|

Wi-Fi is stable (speed ≥5 Mbps) |

VPN and power saving modes are disabled on the phone |

The TV is not in Game or Movie mode (can block broadcasting)-->

⚠️ Warning: On some Xiaomi models (e.g. Redmi Note 10 Pro or POCO X3 Pro), the Broadcast feature may be hidden. To activate it, go to Settings → Connections and Sharing → Broadcast and turn on the Wireless Display slider.

2.Use of Google Cast (Chromecast built-in)

Many Samsung TVs (starting in 2020) support Google Cast technology, the same protocol used in Chromecast devices, which means you can stream the screen directly from Xiaomi, without additional adapters, but with some limitations:

• ✅ Works with Cast-enabled apps (YouTube, Netflix, Google Photos, etc.)
• ❌ Does not broadcast the full screen of the phone (only content from compatible apps)
• 🔄 Requires authorization from one Google account on both devices

How to set up:

1. On a Samsung TV, open an app that supports Cast (like YouTube).
2. Press the broadcast button (the rectangle icon with Wi-Fi in the corner) and select your TV from the list.
3. On your Xiaomi phone, open the same app (like YouTube) and click on the broadcast icon at the top of the screen.
4. Select your Samsung TV and the content will start playing on the big screen.

Through Smart View (Miracast)|

Google Cast (YouTube, Netflix)|

Through HDMI| cable

External adapter (Chromecast, Fire Stick)|

Another way.-->

⚠️ Warning: If the Cast button doesn't appear in the app on your phone, check:

• Is the app updated to the latest version (e.g. YouTube 18.20+)?
• Are both devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network (not mobile data!)
• Does not block the broadcast of VPN or firewall (turn them off for the time of setting up).

3. Wired connection via HDMI (for minimum delay)

If you want maximum stability (for example, for gaming or watching high-resolution video), the best option is a wired connection via HDMI.

• 📱 Adapter USB-C/HDMI (for new Xiaomi models) or Micro-USB/HDMI (for older models).
• 🔌 HDMI- Cable (versions 1.4 or higher to support Full HD).
• ⚡ Power supply for the phone (with long broadcasting).

Step-by-step:

1. Connect the adapter to the phone charging connector.
2. Connect the adapter to the TV through HDMI-cable (use the port) HDMI 1/ARC for better compatibility).
3. On a Samsung TV, select the appropriate signal source (Source button on the remote → HDMI).
4. On the phone Xiaomi may appear request for permission to broadcast — confirm it.

⚠️ Warning: When connected via HDMI on some Xiaomi models (especially with Snapdragon 7xx processors) there may be no sound.

1. Use external speakers connected to the TV.
2. Activate Desk Mode in the developer settings (if available).
3. Update your phone to the latest version of MIUI.

💡

If the image on the TV is blurry, try manually setting the resolution in the adapter settings (for example, through the USB-C Settings app for Xiaomi).

4. Wireless broadcast via Miracast (universal method)

Miracast is a wireless screen standard supported by almost all modern Xiaomi phones and Samsung TVs (even the older ones on Tizen 3.0+). Unlike Smart View, it doesn’t require a single Wi-Fi network connection, as it creates direct communication between devices (Wi-Fi Direct).

• ⚡ Higher power consumption (the phone discharges faster).
• 🎮 Delay up to 100 ms (not suitable for dynamic gaming)
• 🔄 You need to reconnect after each phone restart.

How to turn Miracast on Samsung TV:

1. On the remote, click Source → Screen Mirroring (or Screen reflection in Russian firmware).
2. Enable the connection standby mode.
3. On Xiaomi phone, open Settings → Connections and Sharing → Broadcast.
4. Select your TV from the list (the name will appear as Samsung_XX:XX).
5. Confirm the connection on the TV (entry may be required) PIN-code).

⚠️ Warning: Xiaomi phones with MediaTek processors (e.g., Redmi 10C or POCO M4 Pro) may experience a connection break problem in 5-10 minutes.

• Turn off the Adaptive Brightness function in the screen settings.
• Enable High Performance Mode in Settings → Battery.
• Use an external power source for your phone during the broadcast.

5. broadcast via external adapters (Chromecast, Fire Stick, Mi TV Stick)

If the built-in techniques don’t work (for example, you have an old Samsung TV without a Smart View or Miracast), you can use external devices:

• 📌 Google Chromecast (3rd generation or later) – supports Google Cast and screen mirroring.
• 🔥 Amazon Fire TV Stick — works through the AirScreen app (requires installation on Stick).
• 📺 Xiaomi Mi TV Stick – optimized for Xiaomi devices, but also suitable for Samsung TV.

Instructions for Google Chromecast:

1. Connect the Chromecast to the HDMI port of your TV and set it up via the Google Home app on your phone.
2. Make sure your phone and Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. On your Xiaomi phone, open the notification bar and click Broadcast → select your Chromecast.
4. To mirror the entire screen (not just apps), use the option to Translate screen in the Google Home menu.

💡

External adapters (such as the Chromecast) often provide a more stable connection than built-in TV technology, especially on older Samsung models (2016-2019).

⚠️ Warning: When using Amazon Fire TV Stick to stream from Xiaomi, you must:

1. Install the AirScreen app on Stick (available from Amazon Appstore).
2. In AirScreen settings, enable Miracast and Google Cast support.
3. On the phone, select the Fire TV Stick (will be displayed as AirScreen-XXX).

6. Alternative methods: applications and cloud services

If none of the above methods are suitable, you can use third-party applications or cloud services, which are less stable, but sometimes save in unusual situations (for example, to broadcast to a TV on another network).

Example of ApowerMirror configuration:

1. Install the app on Xiaomi phone and Samsung TV (via Google Play on Android TV or Samsung App Store).
2. Run ApowerMirror on both devices and select Phone Screen Mirroring mode.
3. On your phone, click START NOW and select your TV from the list.
4. Confirm the connection on the TV (coding may be required).

💡

For low latency games, try Parsec (requires a PC as a middleman) or Rainway (works directly, but you need a good network).
