It'll be interesting to see how many phones have the GPU necessary to push that many pixels around. I'm guessing not many.

Most phone screens have the same or more pixels than most computer monitors

I vaguely recall a desktop mode phone around 2012. Not sure if it was DeX, may have been.

You're thinking of Motorola Atrix.

My Pixel 6a has a resolution of 2400x1080. On its own, that's more than the 1080p that most people use these days. And it's not a particularly high resolution for a phone.
