Microsoft and Motorola partnered to deliver a new unique Windows 365 Cloud PC streaming experience to their new Lenovo ThinkPhone. This new phone includes a new experience that allows you to directly connect to your Cloud PCs from the Android UI using a USB-C-to-HDMI cable.

Plugging in the cable unlocks the new Cloud PC UI integration and the user is asked to select the Cloud PC to connect to.
