Not just a screen, but as an external touchpad. And then that there is software that will allow you to both mirror the display and forward the touch commands to the phone.
Note that it may also matter what type of phone you have. Some older phones can output video using a MHL adapter, but that won't allow you to use an external touch device at the same time. More recent ones can use a USB-C to HDMI cable, but I expect that to have the same limitation. So I guess you are looking for a USB-to-USB connection, which will require software support from both devices.

It definitely cheesed me off, I was being really careful, I'd used the P2 the same way with no issues, but apparently it's just not wise for me to take chances like that. I bought a waterproof case for it (that thing is fugly but it'll work for those times I need to be extra careful) - but I'm definitely watching for P4 deals again (they just had it for 100 off at the Google store but I'll wait for a bigger sale or price drop.
it's a great phone & I'm happy with it, so thanks for putting the idea in my head to look closer at it.
