You want to stream a Samsung Galaxy video to a Xiaomi TV big screen, but donβt know how to do it without losing quality? The problem is that different brands donβt always βunderstandβ each other the first time: you need additional adapters, you need the right Wi-Fi settings, and sometimes you need to update your firmware. In this article, weβll look at 5 proven ways to duplicate your screen, including wireless technologies (Miracast, Google Cast) and wired solutions (HDMI, USB-C), and how to avoid common errors like image delay or lack of sound.
The Samsung-Xiaomi pair has its own wireless protocols, such as Samsungβs Smart View technology and Xiaomiβs Miracast or DLNA. This means thereβs no one-stop solution, but with the right approach, you can achieve stable connectivity even on older models. We tested all the methods on current devices (2022-2026) and created a compatibility table that will help you choose the best option for your equipment.
1. Wireless transmission via Miracast (without router)
Miracast technology allows you to duplicate Samsungβs screen on Xiaomi TV directly, without intermediaries in the form of a router or cables. This is the most versatile way, since it works on most devices released after 2015.
How to check compatibility:
- π± On Samsung: Open Settings β Connections β Smart View: If the option is active, your phone supports Miracast.
- πΊ Xiaomi. TV: Go to Settings. β Network and devices β Screen mirroring. If there's a point, the TV is ready to connect.
Step-by-step:
- On Xiaomi TV, turn on Miracast standby mode via the Screen Mirror menu.
- On a Samsung smartphone, swipe down to call the notification panel and tap the Smart View icon (or Settings β Connections β Smart View).
- In the list of available devices, select the name of your Xiaomi TV (e.g. Mi TV 4A 55).
- Confirm the connection on both devices. In 5-10 seconds, the phone screen will be displayed on the TV.
β οΈ Warning: If the image is slowing down or tearing, try reducing the screen resolution on your phone to 720p Also make sure that the TV turns off the power saving mode, which can limit Wi-Fi bandwidth.
2.Use of Google Cast (for streaming content)
If you donβt need to duplicate the entire screen, but only stream videos from apps (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+), then Google Cast is the optimal solution. Unlike Miracast, it doesnβt require direct communication between devices: both must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Advantages of the method:
- π₯ No video delay (important for movies and games).
- π Lower battery consumption, as only content is transmitted, not the entire screen.
- π Ability to control playback from the phone (pause, rewind).
How to set up:
- Make sure your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- On your Xiaomi TV, open an app that supports Google Cast (like YouTube).
- Slip on the broadcast icon (usually in the upper right corner) and select your Xiaomi TV.
- On a Samsung phone, run the same app and select a video to watch β it will automatically start playing on your TV.
π‘
If Google Cast doesnβt find the TV, restart the router and update the firmware on both devices, often by changing the Wi-Fi channel to 5 GHz (less loaded).
3. Wired connection via HDMI (maximum quality)
For those who want a stable image without lags (for example, for games or presentations), the best option is a wired connection via HDMI. However, there are nuances: modern Samsung smartphones (starting with the Galaxy S8) do not have an HDMI connector, so you will need an adapter.
Which adapters are suitable:
| Adapter type | For which Samsung models? | Max, permission. | Price (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| USB-C β HDMI (passive) | Galaxy S8βS23, Note 8β22 | 4K@30Hz | 800 β½ |
| USB-C β HDMI (active, with a chip) | Galaxy S20 Ultra, Z Fold/Flip | 4K@60Hz | 2,500 β½ |
| Micro-USB β HDMI (MHL) | Galaxy S7 and older | 1080p@60Hz | from 1,200 β½ |
Instructions for connection:
- Connect the adapter to the USB-C (or Micro-USB) connector of the phone.
- Connect the adapter to the TV through HDMI-cable.
- On Xiaomi TV, select the appropriate signal source HDMI-port.
- On a Samsung phone, you may need to turn on DeX mode (for new models) or simply confirm the transfer of the image.
β οΈ Attention: Cheap adapters without a chip may not support sound or produce blurry images. Check the reviews for compatibility with your Samsung model before buying.
Clarify the phone model and type of connector (USB-C/Micro-USB)|
Check the maximum resolution of the adapter (for the 4K You need an active chip)|
Note the sound support (some adapters only transmit video)|

4. Connect via USB-C (DeX or MHL mode)
If your Samsung supports DeX technology (available on flagships since 2017), you can use it. USB-C-This is a mode where the phone becomes a mini PC with a desktop, which is convenient for document processing or multitasking.
What you need:
- π Cable USB-C β USB-C (for DeX or USB-C β HDMI (for MHL).
- π₯οΈ Xiaomi TV with port USB-C (rarely HDMI.
- β‘ Power supply (for stable operation, as the phone will discharge faster).
How to activate DeX:
- Connect your phone to the TV via cable.
- A notification will appear on the Samsung screen β select DeX Mode.
- If the notification does not appear, open Settings β DeX functions and turn on the mode manually.
- On Xiaomi TV, select the appropriate signal source.

5. Alternative methods: DLNA and third-party applications
If none of these things worked, you can use DLNA or specialized applications like ApowerMirror or TeamViewer, which are less stable, but sometimes help out in non-standard situations.
Comparison of alternative methods:
| Method | Router required | Delay. | Quality. | Difficulty setting up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DLNA | Yes. | Medium | Up to 1080p. | Low. |
| ApowerMirror | Yes. | Tall. | Up to 720p. | Medium |
| TeamViewer QuickSupport | Yes. | Very high. | Up to 480p. | Tall. |
How to set up DLNA:
- On Xiaomi TV, turn on DLNA in Settings β Network and Devices β Sharing Media.
- On a Samsung phone, install a streaming app (like BubbleUPnP).
- In the application, select a file to play and specify the TV as the output device.

The side of an application like ApowerMirror is convenient for temporary use, but not suitable for constant viewing due to high latency and video compression.
