Even worse, apparently no alt DP display out anymore, which is a killer feature for Linux phones.

The FLX1 did not have DP alt mode either, unless I am totally mistaken. All external display concepts for the FLX1 were/are to require sth like DisplayLink. So all that's lost are file transfer speeds over USB.
