Get Faster Video Streaming with Google Store’s New Pixel Compatible USB-C to HDMI Cable
Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 Owners Can Now Connect to HDMI Displays Using USB-C
In June, Google introduced DisplayPort Support on the Pixel 8 and newer phones, allowing users to connect their devices to external displays via USB-C. To complement this feature, the Google Store is now selling a USB-C to HDMI cable from Cable Matters, a popular brand in the market.
What’s Included in the Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI Cable
The Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI Cable is a 6-foot long white cable with long connectors for USB-C DP Alt Mode and HDMI (4K@60Hz). With this cable, you can seamlessly connect your Pixel 8 and newer phones to an HDMI display. The cable is priced at $29.99 on the Google Store.
Other Google Store Options from Cable Matters
The Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI Cable is not the only option available on the Google Store. You can also find other products from the same brand, including the HDMI Extension Cable and the Multiport Adapter.
DisplayPort Support: What You Can Do
DisplayPort Support was announced with Android 14 QPR3 in June. This feature allows you to project photos, slides, and videos to a bigger screen or mirror your phone’s entire display. The Google Slides app also supports the ability to see speaker notes on your phone while the cable is connected.
Which Pixel Devices Support DisplayPort?
DisplayPort is supported on the following Pixel devices:
- Pixel 8
- Pixel 8 Pro
- Pixel 8a
- Pixel 9
- Pixel 9 Pro
- Pixel 9 Pro XL
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold
The Future of Desktop Windowing on Android
The introduction of DisplayPort Support is similar to wired casting, but not the same as Samsung Dex. Since then, Google has released desktop windowing on the Pixel Tablet, and it remains to be seen how this feature will launch.
