thank you for the elaborate write-up. all them models listed are either way out of my budget, don’t support pmOS or are shitty (4 GB RAM, etc). searching GSMArena for ‘displayport’ nets also 50ish models, all cream of the crop type of deal; I was hoping I’d score a cheap ex-flagship and get myself a nice workstation for experimentation.

in the meantime I’ve gotten myself a Poco F1 for cheap, I’m now awaiting the week-long bootloader unlock timer to expire and I’ll try to use it as a phone only.

that sucks… those two are the most powerful of all listed models and are available with 8 GB RAM. was hoping to get one of these used and make the jump.

do you happen to know how to determine which phones do support it? is it chipset dependent, and if so, which do support it?
