Your Pixel can now double up as a full Android PC with nothing more than a USB-C cable

6 months ago by snowdriftissue to c/technology

Landing with the March Pixel Drop, your Google Pixel phone can now become a mini PC thanks to Android's Desktop Mode.

This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

Anyone know if this works with GrapheneOS? I haven’t tested this in a very long time and then I was on stock. Android.

It does in fact work with GOS. I don't believe this build has been released yet though so you likely still need to toggle it on in the dev settings.
