The Google Pixel 8 will introduce a desktop mode similar to Samsung's DeX. This could revolutionize your phone's use and transform it into a productivity powerhouse.
Wow! I had stopped caring about the Pixel phone because it couldn't do this! Is it just Alt-mode HDMI, or is Alt-mode DisplayPort supported? Does it support 4K? Will the Pixel Tablet also do this?
So from what I gather, this feature is only enabled on the pixel 8 series. So, no pixel tablet support as of yet. DisplayPort Alternate Mode is how Google classifies its support.
@@psalmistpro2554 Most people miss that HDMI and DisplayPort are 2 different protocols, so I needed the clarification that both are supported. To complicate things there is Intel's Thunderbolt protocol...
I hope that helped. Google doesn't seem to be that forthcoming with the details of this feature. There's a rumor that this wasn't supposed to be available in the beta before the pixel 9. So that could explain some of the obscurity with the information
It surprised me too hear this first time from not big tech youtubers but a small youtuber, keep going G
Thanks 🙏
you earned yourself a new sub.
Thanks 🙏
