Devices That Support DisplayPort and Wired Video Output
Most Android and former Windows 10 Mobile devices do not include wired video output support by default. Even when available, this feature is often not clearly listed in specs.
iOS Devices
All iOS devices from iPhone 4 onward support wired video output using adapters:
- 30-pin (older models): VGA & HDMI adapters
- Lightning (2012–2023): VGA & HDMI adapters
- USB-C (2018–present): Starting with iPad Pro (3rd gen) and now on iPhone 15 series
iPhone 15 and 15 Plus use USB 2.0 speeds, but still support 4K HDR output via DisplayPort.
Note: Some apps (e.g. ESPN, Now TV) block screen mirroring due to DRM restrictions.
Android & Others
Many flagship Android phones do support DisplayPort Alt Mode via USB-C, including:
- Samsung (Galaxy S/Note series — includes DeX)
- Huawei (Mate, P series — Easy Projection)
- HTC (U series)
- Motorola (Ready For)
- ROG & Razer gaming phones
LG initially dropped DisplayPort in G6–V40 models but re-enabled it via updates in 2018.
Google Pixel: Pixel 4 and earlier disabled it; Pixel 8 can enable it with root access.
Desktop-Like Features
Some brands offer advanced desktop modes:
- Samsung DeX
- Huawei Easy Projection
- Motorola Ready For
- Microsoft Continuum
These allow multitasking with a PC-like interface on external displays.
Other Notes
- Android 10 added a hidden desktop mode, used by LG on select models.
- DisplayLink adapters can provide limited video output on unsupported devices, but HDCP content may not work.
- DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0 (2020) allows up to 16K video via USB4.
Note: If your phone doesn’t natively support video output, you can try an iOS/Android HDTV cable for screen mirroring. However, features like
