Connecting a laptop to a TV via HDMI: Is it possible?

Hello,

Regarding HDMI, it will depend on the phone. Those from Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco are not compatible. But for most Android smartphones, you just need to plug in a USB-C to HDMI adapter.

Here is an example of an adapter; there are hundreds of similar ones available.

Many smart TVs are also capable of wirelessly displaying the smartphone's screen; you will need to look for the corresponding function on the TV and then use the "screencast" mode on the smartphone. The name of this function may vary depending on the phone brand.

One possibility is to connect your phone via USB to your TV, and you will be able to access your photos from the file explorer!
