TL;DR
- Google’s Pixel devices do not support those magnetically attaching wireless displays you might have seen in the wild.
- This is because Google’s Pixel devices do not support Miracast, a free and open protocol for wireless video casting.
- This limitation also prevents Pixel owners from connecting to Samsung or LG TVs.
Secondary screens on phones are making a comeback. In addition to the Xiaomi 17 Pro’s embedded secondary screen and special phone cases with built-in displays, there’s a growing trend for detachable screens that latch magnetically onto the backs of certain phones. The plethora of secondary screens, marketed as selfie vlogging monitors, are prime examples of accessories that attach to the back of your iPhone or Android device, providing extra display real estate.
