I did not write that the Jolla phone has HDMI support.

In some OHs it is natural to expect the screen of Jolla or the videos from Jola phone to be shown on a large screen. To fulfil those wishes, I asked whether the video signals and the large data flows to external hard disks could be transferred between the phone and its other half wirelessly, avoiding the bottleneck, the i2C interface. Some OHs could work like some entertainment hubs. The data is transferred with WiFi between the "video hubs" and phones of Apple and Samsung, for example. But does it make sense to use WiFi between the phone and its other half, over the distance of less than 0.3 mm? Perhaps an optical link might be better. So, I asked for comments. The optical or WiFi link would be needed just because Jolla phone does not have HDMI connector.
