What is DisplayPort on Pixel 8?

It is a feature that mirrors the Pixel 8 display to a compatible monitor using a USB Type-C cable. It is quite like the Samsung”s DeX but without much refinement.

The feature could become handy for users who work on the go.

Steps to Install DisplayPort Magisk Module

1. Download and Install Magisk Manager on your Pixel 8
2. Then Download the DisplayPort Magisk Module and Flash it via Magisk Manager.
3. Reboot the Phone
4. That’s it!

Unless Google makes the feature available officially via OTA, the users can enjoy it by following the process above.

There could be multiple reasons behind Google’s disabling the DisplayPort feature. The company could be working on a refined version to compete against Samsung’s DeX, or they want to polish the build before unveiling it officially.

Well, there are no worries, as already a working method is available to activate the DisplayPort on Pixel 8. If you have any queries, then make sure to comment in the respective XDA thread.
