As a DeX Daily Driver it makes me very happy to see Google pushing this tech. I'm always terrified Samsung is gonna give up on the tech and I'll have to migrate to a new system or drop a chunk on a Galaxy Book; the integration of phone and computer that DeX gives is a killer productivity feature for me. Glad to see Google pouring some money on the metaphorical fire.

There's always the Chinese. Huawei's Desktop Mode is almost as polished as Dex (lacks that last bit of polish in multi-window snapping on external displays, but you get multi-device multi-cam and shared internal galleries and notes via wifi), and Xiaomi is starting to explore desktop style applications as well as tap to sync phone mirroring and remote control.

I didn't expect Google will release this feature but finally they did it (even though it's beta). This might change my mind about getting S23/S24 ultra. Hopefully they will polish more on desktop mode. It's still kind of barebone right now

Google has a positive working relationship with Samsung. IMHO Google doesn't want to cannibalize Samsung's sales with its own competitor. Pixel 8 (not Pro) also has the settings at least for Desktop mode. Haven't tried out ETAP's steps yet.

After using Dex and Ready For I can definitely say that it's not ready yet for productivity works, apart from emergency edits. Using a Chromebook tablet is much more convenient (for example intuitive mouse use and multi browser-windows). It will take one or a few years more until we get a true desktop experience on smartphones. The simplest and fastest solution would be to have a ChromeOS vm on Android, as Android now has built in virtualization framework. The radical solution is a Chromephone that would make it a swiss knife phone: an Android phone, an Android tablet, a Chromebook and a Linux machine at the same time.

I was going to object to that, because I use desktop mode on a daily basis for office work... but that mouse issue is a killer. I've actually gotten online desktop FPSs like Counterstrike to run through browser containers, but there's just no getting around the difference in mouse click handling between Android and Windows.

Usb C video out is nice. I think every phone should have that. If you enable force desktop in secondary display and simulate a display you can get that on any android. But to access that display the only way I know is with scrcpy using --display=1 command the number change every time you simulate a new display and reset to 1 after reboot .

Video output (basic screen mirroring) has been around since atleast Android 4 so nothing new dude... Just Google disabeled it on their own devices. It worked with microUSB to HDMI. Desktop mode however should NOT be on cheap devices because that experience would end up beeing laggy. It does require a bit of power to run a totally seperate desktop on an external screen

Enabling Taskbar on Pixel 8 Pro Unfortunately, the Taskbar feature is not natively available on the Pixel 8 Pro or any other Google Pixel device. The search results provided suggest that the Taskbar is designed for tablets and foldables, and it’s not a standard feature for smartphones like the Pixel 8 Pro. However, some users have experimented with adjusting the UI density to emulate a tablet-like experience, which can trigger the Taskbar. To do this: Enable Developer options on your Pixel 8 Pro: Go to Settings > System > System update Tap Build number seven times to unlock Developer options Adjust the UI density: Go to Settings > System > Developer options Scroll down to “Display” or “Window” settings (the exact option might vary) Adjust the “Minimum width” or “Density” setting to 600dp (or higher) Note that this is an experimental workaround and may not work on all devices or apps. You may experience issues with touch targets, Gboard layout, and app interfaces. Keep in mind that this is not an official method to enable the Taskbar on the Pixel 8 Pro, and it’s not recommended for daily use. The Taskbar is designed for larger screens and may not provide an optimal experience on a smartphone. If you’re looking for alternative ways to manage your apps and multitasking on the Pixel 8 Pro, you can explore other features like: Split-screen view (long-press the Recent apps button and drag an app to the edge of the screen) Picture-in-picture mode (enable in Settings > Apps & notifications > Special app access > Picture-in-picture mode) Google’s built-in multitasking features, such as the “Recent apps” shade and “Overview” mode Remember to always use caution when experimenting with Developer options and adjusting system settings, as it may affect your device’s stability and performance.

Finally, there's a stock app launcher built right into the secondary monitor desktop mode, for the 3rd party apps being just optional. It works really great on my Pixel 8, although minimizing the apps causes them to show up cut on the phone's screen itself. This can hopefully be fixed in the upcoming feature drops. I can definitely see this as a replacement for a streaming box. I managed to get it only to 1080p because of the USB-C cable's limits I had laying around. Any other cables just warned me the screen mirroring wasn't possible.

This was what was holding me back from buying the pixel fold. So if they add this in the new pixel fold then i don't need to rely on samsung dex. Dex has been extremely convienent at times.

Very great video and showcased the upcoming features with the Pixel 8 - sometime I´m very interested in the USB-C Docking you´re using, can you add some links where it can be purchased. Thank you

I haven't been able to get this to work on my 8 pro for a couple weeks now. I'll get the mirror prompt and it will work for about 15 seconds until I get a static screen and it disconnects. Shame it doesn't work on my set up because Dex works just fine using the same monitor and thunderbolt cable.

I know not enough people want this for it to be implemented, but it would be really nice if I could have real linux on the USB-C out but keep android on my phone. I am sure it's possible to bodge something, but I would love for a seamless solution as opposed to 'dock, start termux, run random command, mount something, switch to a vnc client, connect to localhost'

I'M DESPERATELY hoping this feature comes to previous gen pixel phones. It's absurd that my Pixel 7 Pro has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port but doesn't show for display out purely because googled decided they didn't want to allow the phone to do that.

I'm trying to do this, but my developer settings just don't have force desktop mode. I am running the beta, have been for a while. Maybe they removed it? It's a bummer.

Could you please test the sultan kernel When I flash this kernel I actually outperformed the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 and battery life was even better than the 8 gen 3 I was blown away that I was getting over 120 FPS on highest settings in most games. It really makes it feel like I got a new phone
