You’d be surprised. My last phone (OnePlus 6T) had USB-C but was a 2.0 port in disguise with no extra capabilities beyond what USB 2.0 could already do.
But for what it’s worth, I buy new phones every 5-6 years and always buy them used + a couple of generations behind, so what’s new to me might have been around for awhile. I simply remember being able to connect a Samsung phone to a TV long before I could do that with any other phone brand.
