Pixel 3 USB Type-C Port updated?

[Android Central Question]

Specs on the Google site show "usb type-c 3.1 gen 1 ". Any significances of that compared to the Pixel 2 Port?

One thing definitely, one hopefully.

3.1 is faster than 3.0.

And hopefully, if you connect a pixel 3 to a USB 3 port on a PC, using a USb 3 cable, it will work - the 2 doesn't.
