Google Pixel 8/Pro phones will support wired external displays for the first time

IT House reported on March 12 that the Pixel 8/Pro series will become Google’s first mobile phone that can be connected to a wired external display.

After clicking connect, all the display content on the phone will be copied to the monitor or TV.

2. Desktop Mode:

2. Sadly, video output is not available on other Pixel devices, Google has disabled DisplayPort Alt Mode at the hardware level, and the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are the first phones to offer hardware support.
