Best thing to do is use an external monitor. You can connect the phone via whatever USB interface it has - there are cheap USB to HDMI adapters on Amazon which should do the trick.

Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

-Netflix (included w/ phone plan)
-Hulu + Disney + ESPN (bundle)
-Shudder
-CuriosityStream / Nebula
-Spotify

Then I have my own personal Jellyfin server for everything else.

I’m also a 7T user. The thing I expect to miss the most is the pop up front facing camera, that still feels cool as hell.
