    Is the size factor important for you when choosing a new device?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 02:10 PM PDT

    I'm just curious if you consider size as a factor when choosing a new device.

    I see many times there's a ton of people jumping from one flagship to another and that including jumping from a big phone to way smaller phone and vice versa (for instance S20 Ultra to Pixel 4a) and all they mention when comparing is everything but size.

    I'm currently using my ancient Honor 9 and all I'm worried about is if I get used to a bigger phone once I upgrade.

    So is the size factor even important to you anymore? Or do you just get used to it quickly?

    Surface Duo: Hands on Best Buy

    Most answers here, about HDMI support, is wrong.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2020 01:27 PM PDT

    Typical question is like: does my phone supports HDMI cable connection?

    And typical answer is: no. Your phone doesn't have USB 3.1, just USB 2.0, so you have to use Chromecast.

    Especially Xiaomi community here is full of wrong answers, as most of Xiaomi phones does have only USB 2.0 interface.

    But the truth is: ALMOST ALL Android devices, phones or tablets, is possible to connect through HDMI cable.

    To be more specific: if your phone / tablet

    1. runs on Android 5 (Lollipop) or newer,
    2. if does have USB 2.0 interface - no matter the connector - Micro USB or USB-C,
    3. and supports the OTG,

    then there is almost 100% probability you can connect your phone to TV using the particular HDMI adapter and cable - Chromecast is not your only option.

    So, as these three requirements meets almost all phones and tablets sold nowadays, most answers is simply wrong. Or, not fully correct, at least.

    EDIT: DisplayLink is the solution. But there is a catch. And not only one... So I started working on a complete video how-to. In which I demonstrate, explain and test this solution. I will use three different phones: cheap Xiaomi Redmi 9A with Micro USB, mid model Redmi Note 9 Pro and top model Pocophone Poco F2 Pro 8GB. And I will test these phones with two different HDMI adapters, based on two different chipsets. And I will test every setup at least with YouTube, Netflix, and Call of Duty Mobile. I think it will address most of the questions around Android phones and HDMI cable connection possibility / functionality.
