DisplayPort Alt Mode via USB-C: finally. This is the biggest missing feature from my Galaxy S9 that I wanted on my Pixel 8.

I haven't tested it personally, but I think GrapheneOS (easily the best Android OS for Pixels, in my opinion) has had it for Pixel 8s since the end of October 2023. Here's a quick guide I saw: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/9775-pixel-8-desktop-mode-guide-and-personal-experience

I have no idea if I'll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

I'm hoping for a Pixel Tablet 2 with this (Pixel Tablet doesn't have it, but the Pixel 8 does for some reason) and MTE security capability, and I'll transition to that with GrapheneOS over a laptop.
