I have a gaming laptop and a phone, both of which have USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 1 ports. I also use a USB 4 Type-C cable. Now, recently, I have downloaded music files of over 300GB. If I transfer them one by one, it takes a lot of time. Today, I compressed the folder to a single zip file, and the transfer finished in less than 20m. Why is that so?

    I feel like you are suggesting they would decompress the file over USB from the computer after it is transferred, and not use the phone to decompress it after it is transferred… Once it is transferred to the phone, just use the phone to decompress it.
