Apple iPhone 15 / 15 Plus (2023)
The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus were the first standard iPhones with USB-C, and both are capped at USB 2.0 — 480 Mbps, the same rate as the Lightning port they replaced. The 10 Gbps link is Pro-only. The port still does DisplayPort Alt Mode video out to 4K, and fast charging reaches about 50%…
-
Apple iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max (2023)
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max were the first iPhones with a 10 Gbps USB-C port — USB 3.2 Gen 2, twenty times the standard iPhone 15. The catch is in the box: the included cable is USB 2.0 only, so recording ProRes straight to an external SSD needs a certified USB 3 or…
-
Apple iPhone 16 / 16 Plus (2024)
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus both charge and sync through one USB-C port limited to USB 2.0 — 480 Mbps — while the 10 Gbps link stays a Pro feature. That port still outputs 4K HDR video over DisplayPort Alt Mode, and MagSafe charging goes up to 25W on this generation. The two models…
-
Apple iPhone 16 Pro / 16 Pro Max (2024)
Both 2024 Pro iPhones run USB 3.2 Gen 2 over USB-C at 10 Gbps — twenty times the standard iPhone 16 — which is what makes offloading 4K ProRes practical. As with the 15 Pro, the cable in the box is USB 2.0, so you buy the USB 3 cable separately or you never see…
-
Apple iPhone 17 / 17 Air (2025)
Apple’s 2025 standard iPhone and the ultra-thin iPhone Air share one port and one limit: USB-C at USB 2.0, 480 Mbps — the same data rate as the Lightning connector Apple retired in 2023. Both do DisplayPort Alt Mode video out and up to 40W wired charging with the right adapter. If you move large…
-
Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (2025)
Apple’s largest 2025 Pro iPhone finally moves to a fast USB-C port: it supports USB 3 at up to 10Gbps, roughly 20 times quicker than the base iPhone 17’s 480Mbps — but only with a proper USB 3 cable, since the bundled cable is USB 2.0. That speed enables recording ProRes 4K video straight to…
-
Apple iPhone SE 4th Gen (2025)
Rebranded as the iPhone 16e, this budget-friendly iPhone finally brings Face ID, a 6.1-inch OLED display, and USB-C to Apple’s most affordable smartphone. The USB-C port runs at USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps) and notably lacks DisplayPort video output — making it the only current USB-C iPhone that cannot connect to external displays. It’s powered…
-
Google Pixel 10 (2025)
Google’s standard 2025 Pixel uses a single USB-C port rated at USB 3.2 (5Gbps) that also carries video, so even the base model can output to an external display over USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode. Wired charging is 30W with a USB-C PD 3.0/PPS adapter. The USB 3.2 data link makes backups and large photo transfers…
-
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (2025)
Google’s largest 2025 Pixel connects through a single USB-C port rated at USB 3.2 (5Gbps) that also carries video, so it can drive an external display over USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode — a feature Pixels have supported since the Pixel 8. Wired charging reaches 45W with a USB-C PD 3.0/PPS adapter, hitting 70% in about…
-
Google Pixel 8a (2024)
Google’s budget-friendly Pixel 8a uses a USB-C 2.0 port for charging and data, with 18W Power Delivery support keeping charge times modest but reliable. DisplayPort Alt Mode was enabled via a software update, allowing wired screen mirroring to external displays over USB-C. Data transfer speeds are limited to 480 Mbps over USB 2.0 despite the…
-
Google Pixel 9 (2024)
Google’s standard Pixel 9 features a USB-C 2.0 port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for screen mirroring to external displays straight out of the box. Charging tops out at 27W with a compatible USB-C PD charger, reaching about 55% in 30 minutes. Despite the USB 2.0 data speed limitation of 480 Mbps, the video output…
-
Google Pixel 9 Pro (2024)
Google’s 6.3-inch 2024 Pro flagship charges over USB-C at up to 27W (with the 45W Google charger) and supports 21W wireless charging on the Pixel Stand 2 or 12W on Qi EPP pads. The single USB Type-C port runs at USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and supports DisplayPort Alt Mode out of the box,…
-
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (2024)
Google’s book-style foldable connects through a single USB-C port using USB 3.2 (10 Gbps) — fast enough for quick transfers and external SSDs, and a step up from the USB 2.0 ports on many rival foldables. The port also supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, so one USB-C cable can mirror or extend to an external display.…
-
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (2024)
Google’s largest Pixel 9 variant packs a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode for wired output to any external display. Fast charging hits 37W but demands a PPS charger delivering 18V — not every USB-C charger will reach full speed. Screen mirroring works out of the box over a simple USB-C to…
-
Motorola Razr+ 2024 (2024)
Motorola’s flip-style foldable charges and syncs through a single USB-C port limited to USB 2.0 speed (480 Mbps), with no DisplayPort video output. The headline feature is the large 4-inch external display, but the connectivity is simple: one USB-C port, no 3.5mm headphone jack, and no microSD slot. It supports 45W wired and 15W Qi…
-
Nothing Phone (2a) (2024)
The Nothing Phone (2a) is a sub-flagship with a 6.7-inch 120 Hz OLED and the Glyph LED interface on its transparent rear. Its USB-C port runs at USB 2.0 speed (480 Mbps) and does not expose DisplayPort Alt Mode — wired display output requires a casting adapter, not a simple USB-C-to-HDMI cable. Wired charging tops…
-
OnePlus 12 (2024)
The OnePlus 12 charges incredibly fast over USB-C — up to 100W with the bundled SUPERVOOC charger (80W in the US), with 50W AIRVOOC wireless. The USB Type-C port is USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode, so a USB-C-to-HDMI cable or USB-C dock will mirror the screen to a TV…
-
OnePlus 12R (2024)
The 12R is OnePlus’s value flagship, and one place it economizes is the USB-C port: it runs at USB 2.0 speed (480 Mbps) and does not output video, unlike the pricier OnePlus 12’s 5 Gbps USB 3.2 link. For most people that’s fine — charging is the headline, with up to 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging…
-
OnePlus 13 (2025)
The OnePlus 13 is a 2025 global flagship running Snapdragon 8 Elite with a 6000 mAh silicon-carbon battery. Its USB-C port runs USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, so connecting to a TV or USB-C monitor uses a standard USB-C-to-HDMI or USB-C-to-DisplayPort cable — no docking software required. Wired charging…
-
OnePlus 15 (2025)
OnePlus’s late-2025 flagship connects through a single USB-C port rated at USB 3.2 (5Gbps) for data and OTG accessories. Its headline feature is charging: up to 120W wired SUPERVOOC refills the large 7300mAh battery to full in around 40 minutes, though that peak needs a OnePlus/UFCS charger — standard USB-C PD tops out near 36W.…
-
Samsung Galaxy A55 5G (2024)
Samsung’s popular mid-range phone relies on a single USB-C 2.0 port for all wired connections, with charging maxing out at 25W via USB Power Delivery. There is no DisplayPort Alt Mode, so wired video output to a TV or monitor is not possible with this device. The headphone jack was dropped, meaning a USB-C audio…
-
Samsung Galaxy A56 5G (2025)
The Galaxy A56 5G is Samsung’s 2025 mid-range bestseller, and despite its 45W Super Fast Charging headline (a first for the A-series), the USB-C port itself is the budget USB 2.0 spec. That means 480 Mbps data transfer, no DisplayPort Alt Mode, and no wired Samsung DeX — external displays are not supported over USB-C.…
-
Samsung Galaxy S24 (2024)
Samsung’s compact 6.2-inch flagship connects through a single USB-C port running at USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) — quick enough for fast file transfers and wired Samsung DeX desktop mode. That port also outputs video over DisplayPort Alt Mode, so one USB-C cable can drive an external monitor. Like most modern flagships, the S24…
-
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE (2024)
Samsung’s Fan Edition offers a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, letting you connect directly to monitors and TVs with the right USB-C cable or adapter. Wired charging tops out at 25W via USB Power Delivery, reaching about 50% in roughly 30 minutes. There is no headphone jack, so plan on wireless…
