Your Pixel can now double up as a full Android PC with nothing more than a USB-C cable - Lemmy.World

This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they’re now releasing it officially

Your Pixel

Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

Oh, so your Pixel, but not my Pixel.

Yeah, I have a pixel 7 and was disappointed on vacation to learn that its USB-C port can’t do video when I wanted to plug it into a hotel room TV.

I don’t get why this is a Pixel thing at all and not an Android thing though. Shouldn’t any Android OS device that can do full video output over USB-C be able to do this?

It will eventually. Pixels are usually the first ones to get everything because they are first-party devices.
