    Does the pixel now allow wired external displays? Alt-dp Mode? Any news of a desktop mode similar to dex?

      I will buy a flagship when I can run grapheneOS and use desktop mode, preferably having a sd card with that set up.

      I haven’t heard anything on that. It’s really such an odd omission to not support USB-C Alt mode. It renders the Pixel devices incompatible with AR glasses.

        Yea that was probably the only reason I would have upgraded from my 7 pro, and if it’s not there, looks like the 8 series is a pass from me.

        The fact that there is no mention of it anywhere when even the latest iPhones mentioned it seems like enough evidence, but I even contacted Google pixel support and they said the same thing, doesn’t have it.

      Update: There’s actually a tweet up on [email protected] suggesting the hardware supports it but it’s disabled in software. Should be able to enable if rooted.
