The upcoming Google Pixel 8 Pro looks set to gain DisplayPort support over USB-C. Here's what you need to know about it.

Exciting moving forward, hopefully it leads to display port being standard on Android

    That said, when I plug my Sony into a dock with display port, it does forward my display… so is this actually new or new pixel?

      It is new to Pixel. Unfortunately only a few (mostly expensive) phones have display support on the USB C port. For example the more expensive Samsung phones have it.

      I used to use this feature a lot on my Samsung S5. Was super handy to just carry the adapter cable in my suitcase when staying at a hotel. Easy way to watch streams in my hotel room. Almost any TV in hotels has a free HDMI port to connect to.
