How to transfer an image from Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro to a TV: all ways

Introduction: Why broadcast the screen of a smartphone on TV

Modern smartphones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro have become full-fledged multimedia centers, convenient to watch videos, play or show photos on their screen, but a diagonal of 6.67 inches is sometimes not enough for a comfortable viewing in the company. Broadcasting the screen to the TV solves this problem – you get an image from the phone on a large screen with a resolution up to 4K (if TV supports).

In this article, we will analyze all the current ways to connect the Redmi Note 10 Pro to Xiaomi, Samsung TVs, LG and other brands – both over the air (via Wi-Fi Direct, Miracast, Google Cast), and over cable (HDMI We'll focus on the nuances that are often overlooked in standard instructions: why the sound might not work, how to reduce latency when playing games, or why TV can't see the phone.

The most versatile way to run on most TVs without any extra devices. Miracast is a wireless screen standard built into Android and supported by the Redmi Note 10 Pro out of the box. The main advantage is that there is no dependence on the Internet: the phone and TV are connected directly over Wi-Fi Direct.

How this works in practice:

1. On the TV, activate the Screen Mirroring function (on Mi TV it is Wireless → Phone screen).
2. On Redmi Note 10 Pro, open Settings → Connection and Sharing → Screen Broadcast.
3. In the list of available devices, select the name of your TV.
4. Confirm the connection on both devices.

⚠️ Note: If the TV is not on the list, check it out:

• 🔄 Is the firmware on TV updated (especially relevant for older Samsung models 2016-2018).
• 📶 Is the phone enabled mode Save traffic – it can block Wi-Fi Direct.
• 🔒 On some TVs. LG You need to manually allow the connection of new devices in the settings Network → Miracast.

• 🎮 Switch the TV to Game Mode (if any).
• 📱 On your phone, turn off Adaptive Brightness and lower the screen resolution to Full. HD broadcasting.
• 🔌 Connect your phone to charge – with low battery levels MIUI Automatically restricts productivity.

Miracast is the only way to broadcast without the Internet, but requires support for the standard on both devices.

2. Streaming via Google Cast (Chromecast embedded or external)

If your TV supports Google Cast (built-in or via a Chromecast device), this method will give you a more stable connection than Miracast. Unlike the previous method, here the phone and TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Instructions for Redmi Note 10 Pro:

What you need:

• 🔌 adapter USB-C → HDMI (Recommended models with DisplayLink chip for stable operation).
