Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen South China Wu Yanzu for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com June 25 news, according to foreign technology media Android Authority reports, Google's upcoming Pixel 8 series mobile phone will be equipped with USB DisplayPort Alternate function, similar to Samsung's DeX, to achieve desktop experience.

Google Pixel 8 series phones can be connected to an external display after starting USB DisplayPort Alternate mode, and then used as a desktop with accessories such as an extended keyboard, mouse and microphone.

CTOnews.com Note: This concept isn't new, it was introduced in 2011, three years after Android was released. Motorola introduced ATRIX; Microsoft introduced Continuum in 2015, and so on.

Samsung introduced the DeX in 2017, which only requires USB-C cable or HDMI adapter for desktop experience. Motorola has also introduced "Ready For" features to enable desktop experiences such as video chat.
