    It'll be interesting to see how many phones have the GPU necessary to push that many pixels around. I'm guessing not many.

      They are going to play around with it for a bit, but they will abandon the system once it does get 12 quadrillion MAUs in the first quarter of release.

        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.

                This will be dead in 18 months. Don't bother even thinking about it.

                  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.

                        I'm pretty sure DEX lasted multiple phone generations.

                            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.
