Sony announces the Xperia 1 III with video input port

From TheVerge.com: Sony announces the Xperia 1 III.
The Verge writes:
Sony is also enabling a special mode for the USB-C port that allows you to use a special cable to take an HD-resolution video signal from an SLR camera so you can use it as a monitor – much like the Xperia Pro can do with HDMI.
If this is true, this would make it the only new mobile phone, that you can use as an external monitor. Could be great as a trouble shooting tool for fixing PCs or Macs without needing an extra external monitor. Just wondering why Sony develops a great phone with truly unique specs, but doesn't bother to tell the world about the news in BIG letters!
Note to self: test as soon as possible, if the video input really exists. If yes, this could be one of the most important mobile phone announcements in the last decades!
