Android Central Question

I have a lot of interest in the Android One line of phones. I always wanted to have stock Android to play with. I am maybe looking at the LG G7 One or the Nokia 8.1.

My question is fairly basic. I want to know if Android One phones work with a USB-C to HDMI adapter for connecting to a TV or is it dependant on the manufacturer or device? I know some phone (like my LG G6) disable this feature and force you (usually with a pop-up message) to cast over Wi-Fi.

When I am at work, on break, I want to watch a downloaded Netflix show or YouTube video on the breakroom TV. Our building doesn't have Wi-Fi and I have had too many problems trying to use a Chromecast via my phones hotspot.

Has anyone had any success with this feature on the Android One line of phones?
 
Since this is not only a software thing (it actually needs additional hardware) and most 'One' devices are VERY budget-friendly ones, I'd say nope.
 
The phone probably doesn't do Miracast either, if it's a budget phone. Budget usually means "phone that can run some Android apps", not "cheap phone with all the trimmings, but not the price".
