Does Fairphone 3 Android 10 support desktop mode?

The DP, HDMI and MHL alternate modes for USB-C all require the USB 3.0 pins to be present in the connector, so the answer is no for any simple adapter cable or device that uses those protocols over USB-C.

However it has been reported in this forum thread that DisplayLink devices work, but docks using it don’t charge the phone.

Edit: it might be an idea to use a dock that has its own power connector, to avoid draining your phone’s battery. A laptop USB-A dock with a USB-C to USB-A OTG connector would probably do the job.
