Oh, so your Pixel, but not my Pixel.
Yeah, I have a pixel 7 and was disappointed on vacation to learn that its USB-C port can't do video when I wanted to plug it into a hotel room TV.
I don't get why this is a Pixel thing at all and not an Android thing though. Shouldn't any Android OS device that can do full video output over USB-C be able to do this?
Not all USB-C are equal. They can add or remove features as they please
Right but I'm specifically referring to devices where their USB-C port is capable of full video out.
