The start of something good!
(Until Google kills it.)
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.
This will be dead in 18 months. Don’t bother even thinking about it.
So this is a chromebook, right?
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’m pretty sure DEX lasted multiple phone generations.
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.
You spelled “bad” wrong
It’ll be interesting to see how many phones have the GPU necessary to push that many pixels around. I’m guessing not many.
Most phone screens have the same or more pixels than most computer monitors
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.
Mine has the same resolution, but also 120hz refresh rate /shrug
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.
I vaguely recall a desktop mode phone around 2012. Not sure if it was DeX, may have been.
You’re thinking of Motorola Atrix.
Ah, thank you.
Pixel 10 are set get quite powerful GPUs with raytracing etc
