Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will receive support for DisplayPort functionality, which will allow you to connect smartphones to monitors and TVs via USB-C and use them as personal computers (PCs). In this respect informs Version of AndroidAuthority.
In DisplayPort mode, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones will be able to transmit not only video but also audio over USB-C. AndroidAuthority writes that the possibilities to use this feature are “limitless”.
According to the publication, Google is primarily considering the possibility of using a smartphone instead of a PC. Since Pixel devices already support keyboards and mice, they can be used for light office work and media playback.
AndroidAuthority writes that for more convenient use of a smartphone as a PC, Google may integrate a desktop mode into them. By analogy with Samsung’s DexP, it will allow you to adapt the Android interface to control the mouse and keyboard. Indirect evidence of an improved interface being developed has already been seen by data miners in Android code.
