The Pixel 8 is finally getting support for display output over USB-C


DisplayPort Alternate Mode allows select USB-C ports to transmit video, and now the Pixel 8 supports it.

With the release of Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2, Google is enabling DP Alt Mode and allowing users to connect their Pixel to external displays. Now, months after the Pixel 8 series debuted, it looks like Google has changed its mind and plans to support display mirroring over a cable. The addition of native display output support in Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 could mean that it fully debuts this summer with the release of the public update.
