    You're angry that new(er) phones get new features? This is ... interesting.

    But still, it will likely work with every Pixel phone released in the last two years, so there are some models available to choose from and they're not too expensive (Pixel 8a and 9a).

    Some marketing survey shown that insignificant amount of users would use desktop mode, so they bought cheaper USB electronics for their next phone, that's all. Never mind that Samsung adverises DeX so Galaxy users ar least know there is a desktop mode in their phone.

    The problem is that 8 year old phones from Samsung also had this feature.

    And further that 3 year old Google phones don't even have the necessary hardware to ever make this work, even if they did push the software to it.

    Great that multi monitor is now on the feature list. I've tried connecting my pixel to a single screen (which worked), but never got dual screen to work.
