Yup...and Google has failed to have a competitive alternative since. Does it still work for Samsung? I mean, full blown monitor via USB. I think they removed several features at some point (like forcing it to work only via wireless/miracast or something) after the S10 (the best phone they've made IMHO).

Nope, works absolutely fine with cable as well. Not sure how it was in the past, but I'm not particularly missing any feature

When lunch time comes around I unplug my work laptop from its USB-C docking station and plug my phone in. Works prrfect with my ultrawide, keyboard, and mouse. Then I watch YouTube or Plex while I eat.

I seriously won't consider a Pixel until it can do the same. Samsung's private folder implementation is also excellent. I can have a second VPN in there. I've been wanting virtualization on mobile for a while and this is close.
