1. How to connect Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite to TV with Miracast
Use this option to connect your Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone to your wireless smart TV. For this you can make the connection through DLNA or Miracast.
In order to perform this procedure TV and telephone must meet these requirements
- The phone you want to use to perform this procedure must have the option of "Screen sharing" or it can also be called "Screen mirroring". On the Xiaomi phone it is named as "Send screen".
- Both the smartphone and the smart TV must have a WiFi connection and in addition both computers must be connected to the same WiFi connection network.
- And of course, both the telephone and television must be compatible with this technology.
As we have commented, both technologies serve the same but do not work in the same way and there are notable differences between the two..
Difference between Miracast and DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance connection technology, also known as DLNA, is the one that allows you to connect between two devices without the use of cables or any other device, allowing the reproduction of videos and photos you are watching on the television screen of your mobile; but not the screen of it.
In the case of Miracast technology, this allows you to connect both devices (Smart TV and mobile) in a similar way as if you did it through an HDMI cable but wirelessly. The difference with respect to the DLNA connection is that you are going to allow yourself to reproduce on your smart TV everything you are viewing on your mobile screen.
In case you meet all these requirements, you can continue with the operation and connect your Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone wirelessly to your smart TV by performing the following steps:
Step 1
With the help of your fingers, swipe the screen of your Xiaomi phone towards the bottom from the main screen. Options regarding mobile settings will appear.
Step 2
Press the small arrow icon and you will see how some more options appear on your phone screen.
Step 3
Swipe the screen to the right to see the other settings.
Step 4
You can display an icon similar to a screen with connection signals called "Send". Select it by clicking on it.
Step 5
Your smartphone will automatically search for your smart TV. When the name of your TV is reflected in the window you must select "Connect".
And ready, with this procedure you can view the images, videos and basically what you want on the screen of your smart TV..
