The Pixel 8 and up will display a desktop-like experience when connected to an external monitor.

Google is bringing a new desktop mode to its Pixel phones and tablets. The feature comes as part of Google’s March Pixel drop, allowing users with a Pixel 8 and newer to connect their device to an external monitor via USB-C for a “desktop-like multi-window experience.

” You can use a mouse and keyboard with the new desktop mode, which also works with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The Pixel Tablet is also getting a desktop windowing feature that Google says will offer a “familiar interface to arrange and resize overlapping windows.” Though Google’s announcement doesn’t include any images of what these new experiences will look like, the company has been teasing a desktop experience for Android for months now. Last May, Google said that it’s working with Samsung to build on the company’s DeX feature, which automatically changes your phone’s layout when connected to a larger display. Google also started letting users with a Pixel 8 and up test out these features in June.
