    Can we praise Samsung for providing really good HDMI support?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 04:35 PM PDT

    The other day I was trying out the Pixel 4 and decided to hook it up with my desktop monitor to watch some shows on a bigger screen. It turns out, it does not support HDMI screen mirroring. I was pretty surprised that such a simple feature wasn't already built into AOSP or Pixel's skin.

    Then I tried it with my old trusty Galaxy S9+ and viola! It worked perfectly! Initially, it started to auto-launch Samsung DeX, but I just had to switch to screen mirroring with a single tap. The latency was almost nonexistent, and the picture quality was as crisp as it could get.

    The best part, however, was how it allows you to pick an audio output source from your phone! This is a surprisingly rare feature. For example, if I connect my PS4 to my monitor, I am forced to hook up an external speaker to my monitor since most monitors do not support audio. On Galaxy phones, however, Samsung has a special media control option under the notification shade that allows you to use your own phone's speaker (or Bluetooth devices) for audio. I never realized how much of a neat feature that was. You could even output from up to 2 separate Bluetooth speakers at once, a feature I have not yet found on any other phones. Anyways, I think Samsung deserves a lot of praise for these small polishes and unique features.
