Yeah, I have to say, USBC video out sounds like a gimmick until it isn't. I completely ignored it in choosing a phone but it has saved my butt countless times now. Usually the way it happens is that the computer intended for playing a movie/show/presentation/etc has a problem, lacks a cable, etc. Then I spot a USBC to HDMI dongle (basically everyone with a new Mac or recent ultrabook has some kind of USBC dongle) and bam, you're golden.
I wouldn't get a phone without it.
- rattray 6y agoThanks for sharing, I wouldn't have thought of that.
