The stand is detachable. Even if you've secured it to your computer, you can still unplug the screen and place it on your desk or wherever you want. When your phone supports usb 3.1 and above and has a typec port, then it can be connected using the monitor, either in projection mode (copy screen mode to magnify your phone's screen) or computer mode (the phone's equivalent of a keyboard and mouse, the monitor has a computer system.).
