Technology trends tend to be cyclical. Several years ago, devices like the Motorola Atrix 4G tried to bridge the gap between phone and laptop. It was seen as a gimmick and not super useful at the time. Recently, we’ve seen a comeback in this technology with things like Samsung DeX. The Honor 20 Pro also has a similar feature called Easy Projection and XDA TV‘s Adam Conway took a look at it.
Easy Projection on the Honor 20 Pro can be used in two ways: you can simply cast your phone’s screen or use a “desktop mode.” With the desktop mode, your phone becomes a touchpad and a PC-like desktop interface is displayed on your TV/monitor. Easy Projection works with devices that support Screen Mirroring, like many smart TVs. Apps open in windows just like you’d find on a real desktop for easy multitasking.
The Honor 20 Pro’s desktop mode is not without issues, however. The input lag on the touchpad can be pretty bad and images on the screen can be distorted when quickly scrolling. Overall, it’s a neat little tool that might be useful for some people. Check out the video below to see it in action.
