    in development options I believe you can enable desktop mode one external display, it’s been around since like A10, and with A12L they really fleshed it out. but A14 was another decent improvement.

      I’ve seen this option before but most people online say the Pixels only work with DisplayLink. I’m really tempted to order a cable and see if it works

        Yeah, for sure. The primary issues that Pixel phones do not have DisplayPort out over USB-C enabled. Well, I think the newest ones do.

        You also have the option of using scrcpy for testing this. But it’s a bit of hassle.

        The Pixel 8 and onwards technically support DP alt mode again. I’m not sure about stock, but I believe I read about some people having it just work in Graphene OS.
