Update 1

I see a framerate/refresh rate bug that occasionally locks the framerate at a low value upon unlock. Fixing it requires a lock/unlock cycle.

      To be fair (pun intended) very, very few people ever use the USB-C port for anything other than charging and maybe syncing photos to a pc.

      The connector itself costs like 8 bucks, I don’t know how much more expensive it would be for them to design the signal integrity in their motherboard, required to carry the video stream.

      Still, for the price and for the market segment they’re targeting, this and the lack of a 3.5mm jack for sound is inexcusable.

        That’s because even Samsung with its DeX feature barely advertises desktop mode. People use iPads as desktop replacements these days. Once they realize that hooking up a phone to the same USB C dock is an option, they’ll use it.

          Google seems to be starting to invest into desktop mode again because Samsung users are loving it. So lets hope it makes a comeback in future generations.

            Only a small fraction because Samsung doesn’t advertise it, even though they could make know off ads of Nintendo’s Switch ads back in the day: Show a person playing some game on the bus, then coming home and docking the phone to the TV and the person grabs a game pad. Done. They could make a variation of the same ad every time some big name game comes to Android.
