I was so surprised this did not work when I plugged in my ugreen usb-c hub into my GrapheneOS powered Pixel 4a. Keyboard works, but no display. On my iPhone 8 this already worked years ago...

My intention was to use this feature together with a WireGuard VPN connection as well as (x)RDP / ConnectBot to connect to my debian homelab development vm. This way I could have had a perfectly working dev environment during vacation, as long as the internet connection is fast enough.

I also thought about running rootless Kali Nethunter[1] for some pentesting tasks on an external monitor and keyboard.

Although I run GrapheneOS, I doubt that this will ever land for the Pixel 4a :-/
