In recent years, the basic type-C interface on smartphones developed is standard, and the type-C interface is more convenient to use compared to other phone interfaces because it can be plugged in and out on both sides. In addition, most mobile phone type-C interfaces also support fast phone charging, USB 3.0 transmission protocol, and charging speed and phone transmission efficiency are two aspects we pursue. Naturally, the type-C interface has become a standard feature for major mobile phone manufacturers to design their phones.

1、 General functions

There are three main types of mobile phone interfaces, namely type-c interface, lighting interface, and micro USB interface. Basically, the micro USB interface has some conventional functions, such as connecting to the Type-C interface data cable for charging, and connecting to the Type-C interface data cable for data transmission between mobile phones and computers. Moreover, due to the support of fast charging and USB 3.0 protocols in many mobile phone type-C interfaces, the charging or data transmission speed of phones with type-C interfaces is better than that of other mobile phone interfaces.

2、 Headphones equipped with type-c interface

Some smartphones have gradually eliminated the design of 3.5mm headphone jack, such as Huawei P40 phones and Huawei Mate30Pro phones. Due to the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack design, these phones have a dual headphone interface and charging port. So if you are using a smartphone without a 3.5mm headphone jack and the phone charging interface is a type-c interface, then you can connect the headphones of the type-c interface to listen to music.

3、 Use with type-c to USB adapter

If your phone is a type c interface phone, then equipped with a type c to USB adapter, your phone can be connected to various USB interface peripherals, such as a keyboard, mouse, game controller, etc. Connecting these peripherals to play games is simply not too enjoyable. In addition, you can also use a type-c to USB adapter to connect to a USB drive. You can directly use your phone to read data from the USB drive or transfer data to the USB drive, saving the trouble of using a computer to read data from the USB drive. It's simply not too convenient.

4、 Expand mobile interface

If our phone only has a type-c interface and does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, what if we still want to charge the phone while using headphones? This has always been a problem that troubles many friends, but if you are equipped with a type-c extension head, one end is connected to the Ttype-c interface of your phone, and the other end has two ports, one is a 3.5mm headphone port, we can plug in headphones; The other port is the type-c interface, which we can use for charging. This enables the function of charging while listening to music for phones that only have a type-c interface and no 3.5mm headphone jack.

5、 Projection of mobile screen onto TV

If your mobile phone has a type-c interface and uses the type-c3.1 protocol, such as Samsung's S9 and S10 models, Huawei's Mate30 and 30Pro models, you can use type-c to HDMI Docking station to project mobile phone content to TV. It is more suitable for playing games or watching movies, projecting game or movie content onto the TV to experience the pleasure of a large screen. However, this method is not applicable to all type-c interface phones, as some phones have a castrated version of the type-c interface and do not support the type-c3.1 protocol.

Overall:

The benefits and functions of the type-c interface are still numerous, which is one of the reasons why this interface stands out among several mobile phone interfaces. In addition to fast charging and data transmission, coupled with some specialized devices, it can also easily connect to devices such as computers, USB drives, televisions, etc., which is very convenient and practical.
