Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro with Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 update got the ability to display the picture through USB-C port

Google recently released the Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 update Android 14 QPR3 for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, which activated a useful feature for the devices.

Here's What We Know

We're talking about DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Thanks to it, smartphones can now output images through the USB-C port to TVs and monitors. A similar feature is available in the flagship Galaxy S24 smartphones.

Incidentally, despite the fact that the majority of last generation Pixel devices supported the USB-C 3.1 or higher standard Google for some reason left the feature disabled. Back in October last year, third-party developers with the help of the GrapheneOS project activated this feature in the Pixel 8. Now the feature works on Google smartphones without any additional modifications.
