I tried this and battery goes down very quickly on the phone. Do you have a solution for this?

Any usb-c docking station should work. (should being key, many are lacking something useful - commonly the monitor port is a usb-A video interface with windows-only drivers not a display port that would just work).

Though I suspect a laptop is still what you want. Your phone will generate too much heat to leave in your pocket. Or maybe some backpack (fanny pack?) wearable?

powerbank?

  • The issue with this is usually that you can't have power from the powerbank going into the only USB-C socket on the phone while the display signal comes out on the same cable. I think it's technically doable, but not usually with dongles that would fit in your pocket.

  • I meant for a pocketable setup as parent explained. You wear the glasses in a coffeeshop connected to your mobile phone (the single USB-C port).

    Based on some quick testing this consumes about 1% per minute on my S24 Ultra which makes this scenario unrealistic (at least for me)
