Google has a plan for the Pixel 8a when it comes to video output via USB-C.
Google has been installing capable hardware for some time now, but isn’t really using it well. USB-C on Pixel smartphones has so far only been useful if you want to charge your own Google cell phone and for developers. However, that will change, first with the new Pixel 8a with the upcoming June 2024 update.
As has now been shown, the new Android smartphone supports the USB video output, but it is still not active or activated. Based on the current test versions, it is clear that the function will be finally introduced with the June update should. Then there is the video output via USB-C for external displays.
The next Pixel Feature Drop is expected in June and with it some innovations for the Pixel smartphones. It is questionable whether other (existing) Pixel models will also benefit from the function. At least things are looking good for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, as they ultimately have the same hardware as the Pixel 8a.
Video output via USB-C should then be available in all Pixel models in the future, which will definitely be all four Pixel 9 models in 2024.
