When it comes to the type-c interface, it's actually something Apple brought with it. Since the use of type-c on MacBook, it has gradually become popular, and major manufacturers have also followed suit by using the type-c interface. Apple's latest Macbook Pro is even more aggressive with four type-c interfaces, which shows that Apple likes the type-c interface. According to the urine nature of Apple's digital Weather vane in recent years, type-c has become a mainstream interface for electronic products. In the future, we believe that more domestically produced thousand yuan computers and laptops will gradually be chosen. So what are the advantages of this small interface compared to traditional USB B interfaces?

一、 One of the advantages of the USB C interface: forward and backward pluggable

of players who use USB interfaces have encountered the awkward situation of "plugging in the wrong side, not even the right side, and plugging in the right side again". The editor believes that USB C alone is enough to quickly kill other USB interfaces. Since USB C can plug in both positive and negative sides, professionally speaking, the interface lacks directionality. There is also a reason why Apple fans are more proud than Android users: iPhone phones have been designed in this way for a long time, with the Lightning interface being able to plug in and out since iPhone 5, without the need to distinguish positive and negative like Android phones (even worse, different manufacturers' mini USB interface designs are also different, for example, Xiaomi makes their phone USB interface look the same width up and down, making it more difficult to distinguish), making it much more convenient to use.

二、Advantages of USB C interface: stronger power supply

Although the 100W USB power supply is not the same as the USB C interface, the power supply capability of the USB C interface has indeed been strengthened. We all know that the power supply current of the USB 2.0 is 0.5A, while the USB 3.0 reaches 0.9A. Although there is no change in USB 3.1, there are not only 1.5A but also 3A options for the current of the USB C interface. The current that the interface can carry can actually reach 5A, so the theoretical type-c interface power supply can reach up to 25W, This is higher than many QC 2.0 fast chargers.

It must be said that the type-c interface also supports bidirectional power supply, which can accept power from the charger and also serve as an external output current for the charger. Google's son Nexus 5X/6P phone has this function.

三、Advantages of the USB C interface: faster speed

In terms of transmission speed, the minimum requirement for the USB C interface is USB 2.0 speed. However, such a good interface only uses USB 2.0, which is clearly wasteful. It can meet the USB 3.0 or even USB 3.1 speed standards, but it depends on the manufacturer's choice.

Apple has used the USB 3.01 Gen1 standard speed (5Gbps USB 3.0 speed) on NMB laptops. Currently, Lenovo's Zuk Z1 is the first USB C interface phone to support USB 3.0 transmission speed, while other manufacturers, including Google's Nexus 5X/6P, still have USB 2.0 speed. Although the internal speed of the flash memory used by smart phones is high, the speed of connecting to computers is not fast, so the demand for USB 3.0 is not high, and USB 3.0 interferes with the Mobile phone signal signal (Samsung has used USB 3.0 on Note 3, which was tacitly closed, and later mobile phones directly removed the USB 3.0 support).

四、Advantages of the USB C interface: ability to transmit video

The USB C interface has attracted widespread attention since its inception, not only being the most popular among its own brothers, but also attracting the potential of other industries to extend the functions of the type-C interface. VESA, the international video electronic Standards organization, launched the "DisplayPort over usb c" plan in cooperation with USB-IF, which is to enable the usb c interface to have the function of DP video transmission. It is estimated that the DP interface and DP cable will be replaced in the future.

The type-C interface has such great advantages, so which mobile tablets currently on the market are equipped with a USB C interface?

In terms of tablets: Nokia brand and Foxconn's N1 tablet, as the first tablet to use a USB C interface, only has a weak presence in the market. Dell's Venue 8, Venue 10 Pro tablets, and HP's Pavilion x2 10 tablets also use USB C interfaces.

The trend of using USB C interface on mobile phones is even greater, especially in the domestic mobile phone market. The first domestic USB c Android phone was actually launched by LeEco Mobile, a new smart phone. Later, OnePlus One Mobile 2, Zuk Z1, List of Xiaomi products 4c, Google Nexus 5X/6P, Microsoft Lumix 950/950 XL and other phones used the USB c interface. As long as Zuk Z1 supports the speed of USB 3.0, others are still the speed of USB 2.0. In addition, Googge's Neux 5PX/6P can also support bidirectional charging function, and other features have not been followed up yet.

If you have mentioned the recently released phones, you will find that more and more domestic manufacturers are launching multiple phones with type-c interfaces.
