- nfriedly 1y agoIt sounds like the new features are coming later this year. But, some Samsung and Motorola phones already support that (DeX and "Ready For"), and there's a kind of janky version that you can unlock in developer settings for phones (including Pixel 8 & 9) that have video output but no built-in desktop mode.
- jakub_g 1y agoOn Pixel 8 + Android 15, I can already connect an external monitor via "screen mirroring" feature. My keyboard and mouse, which are plugged into USB ports in the monitor, do work. However the annoying thing is that many apps which display video (official TV streaming apps from my ISP etc.) detect the presence of an external display, and prevent video playback there. Sigh.
