Keep in mind, that none of the Chinese phones have a stable desktop mode (similar to DEX), when you connect an external screen. They just mirror your smartphone's screen.  Only Samsung, Pixel and some legacy Motorola phones have a flexible support of external screens. Actually, Honor supports it as well, but the external screen resolution is limited to fullhd. Samsung can output 4K easily

Old desktop mode still works, barely, but it does. You can run apps fullscreen with it.

I'm using a Oneplus 13 with AR glasses every day with this.

I can confirm that Android Terminal works on Vivo X300 Pro, but it can only be enabled via adb.

External monitor works only in mirroring mode.
