> The port is capable, but does the Pixel actually move data that fast over it?

My girlfriend's Pixel 4a can transfer about 4x USB2's real world maximum. Just tested it.

USB 3 isn't new, it dates back to 2008. Every Pixel phone except the original Pixel 1 (USB 3.0) and Pixel 3a (USB 2.0) supports USB 3.1.

My bad, I was thinking about the Pro models' 10Gbps maximum and was looking for comparisons at that speed. I replaced what you wrote with the phone I had in my head!
