I heard they are adding a desktop mode to android 16, curious if it would be possible to use phone and have a similar experience to an actual PC by connecting monitor and mouse/keyboard, well just using a browser, at the very least.

EDIT: found it

Future updates will also bring even more productivity enhancements to Android, allowing you to connect tablets and phones to an external display for an expanded desktop experience

I connected android phone to external monitor using USB-C like a year ago. I'm not sure what's new here.

The desktop experience. Unless you've been using Samsung deX, which this is built upon.

Was it a Samsung phone? They've had Dex for some time but it was a Samsung specific feature as far as I know.
