So you're telling me that the USB-C cable between my Galaxy S8+ and my PC can move data at 10Gbps... Then why is it that whenever I try to browse my photos on it, the icons load slower than a webpage through dialup, and the 'DCIM' folder can take up to a full minute to load all the file icons? 🤔

    Slow file system, slow media, protocol overhead. Probably lots of other stupid decisions and lack of updates along the way, too.

    The connector does not determine the protocol used. Wouldn't be surprised if phones still use USB 2.0 but over the USB Type C connector.

    Mostly protocol. It's not your ordinary flash drive, it's a phone that decided to translate it's file system to your pc.

    Translation takes lots of time too, you know :)

    @olback Definitely not 2.0. I've used my phone as a 1080p webcam with basically no latency before.

    The galaxy S8(+) has USB-C 3.1, so no USB 2, but MTP is... well, let's just say not faster than Flash the Sloth.
