Google Pixel 8 leak points to deskop mode support
Exciting moving forward, hopefully it leads to display port being standard on Android
You're viewing a single thread.
That said, when I plug my Sony into a dock with display port, it does forward my display.. so is this actually new or new pixel?
It is new to Pixel. Unfortunately only a few (mostly expensive) phones have display support on the USB C port. For example the more expensive Samsung phones have it.
I used to use this feature a lot on my Samsung S5. Was super handy to just carry the adapter cable in my suitcase when staying at a hotel. Easy way to watch streams in my hotel room. Almost any TV in hotels has a free HDMI port to connect to.
ahh okay interesting, well hopefully with it being in Pixel that means that mainline android might get some features that support using it, and for manufacturers like sony and motorola that mostly just keep clean mainline android, maybe we'll get some cool developments :)
