I think we’ll probably end up with Gen 1 of Google’s Samsung Dex competitor, but “ChromeOS-mode” would be a welcome surprise.

I didn’t plan to upgrade my Pixel 7 Pro anytime soon (it should last me until the Pixel 10 perhaps). But a Pixel with a Desktop Mode would be really tempting.

When I thought about buying the Pixel Tablet it became clear to me that I don’t want more devices, I want versatile devices. Maybe folding phones will fill that gap for me once they mature enough (and become less expensive) but for now hooking up a phone to a monitor seems the better option, at least for me.

I’d be happy with a simple display. Just allow me to display whatever is playing on my phone without messing around with casting.
