My 9 year old phone can be connected to a display with a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
That's nice, mine can as well. If you can also connect a mouse and keyboard, then you'd have something to game on I guess. Touchscreens are no good for gaming to me, my thumbs are wide and not precise enough on a touchscreen. So if I have room for a monitor, I'll just plug a computer into it.
Bluetooth controller do exist by quite some time. ...also bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
...ad also USB-C hub that recharge/give power, offer HDMI/DP port and usb slots.
I recall Ubuntu Phone back in 2011 was set to use these features to give a complete computing, Ubuntu Linux, experience on smartphone (and TV, as the smartphone connected to TV)
Yeah, it can turn into a full miniPC. I assume the tech has gotten even better since 2017.
