This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

It works okay, but not great for me. I toss my phone on one of my old laptops docking station at work, but some apps like to force a shit resolution. It is pretty neat having them in moveable windows though.

Have you used the latest version?

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I haven't used it in the past few months, I'll definitely give it another try though.

Edit: Oh, yeah this is a bit different. I like the new prompt asking if it's extended or desktop. I will definitely have to play with it a bit more, I had tossed it to the back of my brain as a 'well it exists' feature.
