Nope, not to my knowledge. I don't believe this is possible.

I don't think it matters. What specific make/model smartphone are you asking about?

I have a Google Pixel 3 XL. It definitely does not support (and has a USB C port). Nor will it drive the external USB C display I have attached to my laptop as I type this.

I am unaware of any smartphone able to act as a display.
