It'll be interesting to see how many phones have the GPU necessary to push that many pixels around. I'm guessing not many.
DeX was released a pretty long time ago. My Galaxy Note 9 from 2018 could run it, I'm sure many modern phones are equally capable of running a desktop mode.

My Pixel 6a has a resolution of 2400x1080. On its own, that's more than the 1080p that most people use these days. And it's not a particularly high resolution for a phone.

I vaguely recall a desktop mode phone around 2012. Not sure if it was DeX, may have been.

I remember DEX and it lasted a couple months before being killed. I even remember Motorolas Atrix. Wonder how many months this will last.

I use this to mirror my android screen to Windows right now. It works well. You can mirror the screen, specify a specific app to run... Very versatile.

Yeah, I can confirm, my S21 and I were doing some web dev on vacation just a few months ago.

Dex is still a thing, and one UI 8 version of dex is being built upon this version of android desktop.

Dex is still around, and still getting updates too.
