  I don’t think DP cables are used for charging smartphones? Unless you’re thinking DP alt mode over USB-C, but that would still be for displays

    Well to be fair it's more often that I use DisplayPort cables for sending files over to my phone than for charging it, since my phone supports wireless charging.

      DisplayPort is for displays though? Like HDMI? They aren’t used for file transfer as far as I understand. And DP alt mode over USB-C is also just used for displays…
