Hi,
Can anyone confirm/test whether the X80 Pro supports video output using a USB-C -> HDMI cable?
I also posted on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra as I hesitating between these 2 phones to replace my Huawei Mate 10, but it seems like Xiaomi doesn't have video output
Does the phone has something like Huawei EasyProjection or Samsung Dex?
Thanks
I can confirm that the vivo has HDMI output, it doesn't have many options or desktop mode, but it does have HDMI output.
The xiaomi 12s ultra should not have video output because it only has USB 2.0.
Thanks a lot for checking
also, wait...what? Only USB2 on a 2022 flagship from Xiaomi? That's absurd

Does the OnePlus 5T support type c to HDMI if it does where can i get a cable
Assuming that the 5T is practically identical to the 5, give or take the new rear camera, screen etc.
This thread claims that it does not support it.

It will however, work with displaylink apparently.

Hello, can someone try a usb-c to HDMI adapter with the LG G8 please ?
LG G7 was not compatible at first with Android 8 but then LG activated HDMI over USB-C with Android 9 update

LG G8 has Android 9 out of the box so it should work but still no proof
It doesn't look like they've disabled that functionality with the G8 (not all variants are released so keep that in mind).
I don't remember if SomeGadgetGuy showed UsbC-to-HDMI on other videos but it's definitely present in "LG G8 vs G7: Worthy of a One Year Upgrade?" around 3:05 in the video with the G8. Link to the video here: https://youtu.be/9APieviEyYI?t=185

Thank you Pak0St ! It's a good news that LG keeps video out over USB-C !
I remember having seen a video of him reviewing LG V40 and complaining that LG removed HDMI over USB-C on LG V40 and G7 because there is too much delay between the phone and the TV screen with wireless display connection (here at 2:45 https://youtu.be/hFdHQ7f14nQ?t=165 ) and previous LG phones like V30 had this feature but now with Android 9 update it has been activated.
I wonder if they will add a custom desktop mode like on Samsung and Huawei smartphones or if they will use Google's desktop mode with Android 10 update
Usb c video out works, mirroring the screen with hdmi adapters is possible. My powered hub that worked with my S8 doesn't work with the G8, but my regular usb c to hdmi adapter does. I'm about to buy a powered hub that works with a Pixel in hopes the LG will as well.
The only thing I really miss about the S8 is Dex. Google or LG needs to get on this, especially considering the silly aspect ratio scaling the mirror mode has. Google play is the only video app that properly projects the image in 16:9. I wish the others would.

I've heard that a desktop feature similar to Samsung Dex will be added from Android Q.

That's great news! Now to figure out how long it will take Q to reach the G8. The G8 is part of the Project Treble beta, so I really hope LG has planned the update soon.
Update: With a little more testing, I found my 25 dollar adapter that worked with my S8 mostly works woth the G8. The trick is to plug in only the hdmi, wait fot the mirrored screen, then plug in the power, which must be more powerful than the included wall charger. I'm using a monitor, whose usb c delivers pd power.
Looking over most adapters, it seems they're made for pd charging, but I'm curious if any will work with a wall charger. The descriptions are very vague for this purpose.
Here's the one that I have:
USB C to HDMI 4K Adapter... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FMK94BQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It cost only 25 bux, and offers two usb 3.0 ports as well as usb c charging.
In case you're interested, here's the $54 Cheotech one that Juan Bagnell featured in his videos. It comes with ethernet and positive phone reviews.
https://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-Multiple-Ethernet-Charging-Compatible/dp/B07673ZSD1
My G7 ThinQ (LM-G710EAW) still doesn't work with the USB-C to HDMI adapters that worked with the G5. It tries to connect but always reverts to USB Power Supply mode even if I tell it to always choose the media or photo sharing modes. I've been upgraded to Android 9 for a year now and was hoping it would kick in at some point. Any thoughts on what else might be missing?

Hi, thank you for sharing your test of this adapter, I was searching for any solid information about connecting G8 to device like this, with no success. Now only one question left: did you try to connect any USB device to adapter, simultaneously to HDMI streaming and charging?
Helped a friend buy this. We were watching movies via wireless screen sharing (miracast) and it was OK but kept stuttering and dropping WiFi.
So I suggested getting an hdmi usb-c cable with power charging (4k). I was very surprised when it didn't work! Tried everything including downloading dex to the phone.
Connected the same cable to my s8 plus and it worked beautifully (dex) !
So why not the Samsung a50? Never experienced this on any phone before and have been connecting to TV this way for 10 years.
Need a different /special cable? Or no go on this device and can only do via wireless?
Thx
I haven't ever used HDMI mirroring on a phone but as far as my knowledge of Type-C goes, you need USB 3.1 to support all the alternate modes including HDMI and DisplayPort. The A50 comes with USB 2.0, so there is no possibility of getting Display-Out from the USB port.

thanks for that explanation, I'm guessing this the same reason we can't use type c 3.5mm jacks?
by that respect, pretty much any type c 3.1 can output through hdmi?
Thanks,
Scott
Type-C as a standard is a mess. I don't think you are required to support alternate modes in USB 3.1, so I suppose there are USB 3.1 Type-C devices that still don't output video.
Regarding audio, there is Audio Accessory Mode for Type-C and the concept of active and passive headphones/dongles, so not all dongles will work.
samsung A50 simply doesnt support dex. only s8 s9 s10 and Note 8 9 10.
getting usb c to hdmi wouldnt solve your problem.
there is how ever one possible solution, which is the universal android usb to hdmi cable. it uses ezcast app (same app for wireless). mirroring your phone but wont display netflix etc on your tv.
Samsung A20
So, I know that the A-series doesn't support DeX, but I was hopeful that it might still have the capability to project to a lapdock (like the HP Elite X3 or Nexdock 2) via USB-C and display even crudely (so, not the fully optimized DeX-ified desktop mode, but maybe just a mirror?), ideally allowing for keyboard/touchpad input as well. Basically I'm trying to come up with a solution for my mom whose company is phasing out the laptop she's accustomed to working on in favor of these lousy Samsung A20s, which she's gonna have a lot of trouble seeing and interfacing with on such a tiny screen and without a full keyboard (she's in her 60s). The lapdock thing is the only idea I've been able to come up with (though, it sucks that the A20s don't support DeX), but I'm open to any other suggestions if you think the lapdock route is a dead end. Thanks!

The A50 doesn't support MHL(display out protocol) at all for some reason, which is quite disappointing. At least wireless display casting works well.
Hi everybody.
I am interested in buying the Xiaomi Mi9 SE, since it has great features and the price is very attractive.
I am interested to know if I can use the USB Type-C port to display on a screen or a projector (of course, considering a special adapter), that is to do "screen mirroring."
Thank you very much to all.
