HDMI Out?

[recDNA]

I'd like the big screen but they will have to make it thinner and lighter to attract my interest.

Maybe the fold 4 see what happens.

Samsung could sink with the flip and fold if they don't come out with the Note or FE or S22 more quickly.

Rumors have it the next Note will be a s22 ultra note

They have nothing to compete with Pixel nor iPhone right now when needed. The FE should have come out last week. The S22 needs to come out sooner than usual to give premium Android users an alternative.

They have the chip shortage going on so that plays a roll with current covid19 also but Samsung not worried about Google threat wise.

"Not worried" are the final words of too many spokesmen of failing companies. I work with young people and they all have an iPhone or cheep old Android phone with broken screen saving up for an iPhone. It's seems cultural among them.

I read this on Google. True or false?

Pixel 5 has MHL(mobile high definition link) to HDMI out support. Therefore, with a USB C MHL to HDMI cable, we can share the Pixel 5 screen with a TV, monitor, or projector.

I have the pixel 5 but not the cable to test it out

I might even have one. I have a displayport and two others.

The reviews on your new Pixel look very good.

There was one Huawei I definitely would have preferred to the Samsung at the time. They were the last with ir blaster.

Ahh yeah , think was Huawei pro 20 or something like that ?

 

[recDNA]

yup

 

[mustang7757]

yup

I wanted that device back then but would have to import it so never happened.

I don't think any Pixel phones support native HDMI output via USB-C. You have to use a dock: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2865484?hl=en

I asked the manufacturer of the dock but they said I could only show my own pics and vids or email etc but Netflix and other sites with copyrighted material would just be black screen with audio.

It might work in AOSP but I'm not going to root any more phones.

There are tons of "generic USB to HDMI" adapters for phones/tablets. I assumed that almost all Android phones/tablets supported HDMI out via USB, and was almost about to buy one.

So some Android phones/tablets don't support it?

None of the Pixels do. I assume the iPhone doesn't. My Note9 does. My LGV20 did. Even before usb c I had Android phones that did
