To make the new Pixel 8 more advanced, Google is reportedly supporting an alternative USB DisplayPort mode.
With the incorporation of the new feature, Google's Pixel 8 will enable the phone to be used as a desktop replacement using the USB-C port. The feature will be helpful in doing light office work.

According to Android Authority, both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will support the new upgrade. The feature is similar to Samsumg DeX technology, which was introduced in 2017.
Google had previously skipped out on this feature. However, the new update is exciting for its users.
Google is actively working on the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro models and is expected to launch them in October.
