How to connect the Xiaomi smartphone to the TV

The easiest way to connect your Xiaomi devices to your TV is via Wi-Fi, using:

• Miracast standard. Allows you to transmit an image from the phone screen to the TV display. The latter must support the appropriate standard or its equivalent Intel WiDi version 3.5. Maximum broadcast resolution is 1920 x 1200;
• DLNA protocol. Opens access to create a home network via Wi-Fi router. By downloading the special application to your phone, computer, tablet and TV, users can view files in the internal memory of devices and play them on TV.

To transmit an image to the TV without a Wi-Fi module, use an external adapter like MiraScreen or Chromecast. They have built-in Wi-Fi, and after connecting your smartphone transmits the broadcast from the screen to the display through the HDMI input.

• Connect via USB-port as a media carrier. Accesses the memory of the mobile device as if it were a flash card. On older models, it doesn’t recognize the media if the internal memory is over a certain limit (32/64/128GB);
• With HDMI. A microUSB/USB Type-C to HDMI cable is required.
