Google Pixel 8 leak points to desktop mode support.
Thanks to a source inside Google, Kamila Wojciechowska (via Android Authority) has revealed support for an alternative USB DisplayPort mode that will appear in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. This will allow the phone to be used as a desktop replacement using the USB-C port.
The feature is similar to Samsung's DeX technology introduced in 2017, which allows desktop mode to be launched using a USB-C cable or HDMI adapter. In addition, hints of desktop mode as well as USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode support (via Mishaal Rahman) are also present in Android 14, on which the Pixel 8 is due out.
