Its features are not hidden in expensive accessories, rather you just need to know about its 5 best uses.

While wireless options like Quick Share or AirDrop are convenient, large video or file transfers can take time. You can now transfer data by directly connecting two phones with a cable using the Type-C port. Without internet, one phone accesses the other’s storage, allowing files to be copied faster.
