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
