How many types of USB are there?

Nowadays, we have more and more smart devices, and the interfaces used are becoming more and more complex, can you really distinguish the difference between these interfaces? Today’s article we will explore what are the current mainstream intelligent interfaces, and what is the difference between them.

With more and more contact with smart devices, will encounter a variety of USB interfaces, for many people, the interface type is only: USB interface, Android interface, Apple interface three interface types, as for Type-c, it will be called another Android interface. Common interfaces are: Type A, MicroB, TypeC three

TypeA: mainly used for interfaces on computers, Type-A is actually our current very common USB plug, and Type-B is actually not unfamiliar to some people, many printers, monitors are still using Type-B for data transmission. Two common plugs in daily life are actually scientific names, and Type-C is just a newcomer who has just arrived, directly using the scientific name to show people, so that you feel strange.

In fact, after the MacBook, some mobile phone manufacturers who dared to try and pursue new things began to do new machines with Type-C interfaces. Such as LeTV, OnePlus, Nokia, etc. I believe that if you pay attention to the conference, you will find that Type-C will often be related to USB3.1. This is actually a wrong message to the masses of the people, simply put, USB3.1 is just an industry standard, but also a revision number of the current USB3.0 standard. This is just a technical standard, not a physical value. Therefore, don’t be mistaken for the Type-C interface is all with USB3.0 transmission rate, because the current LeEco, OnePlus and other mobile phones that support Type-C plugs are still the USB2.0 standard, and only the newly released ZUKZ1 is the USB3.0 transmission standard. The most intuitive advantage of Type-C is that you can completely get rid of the trouble of plugging, and no longer need to have the damage to the parts caused by the wrong insertion or mistake.

In fact, whether it is USB 2.0 or USB3.0 standards, for now, there is not much help and change, for smart phones, data cables are mostly used as tools to charge devices, offline movies, online downloads, etc. help us gradually get rid of the data line transmission era, for some environments and needs, it is undeniable that the usb 3.0 transmission speed will indeed make you more pleasant, all this year, for 2.0 and 3.0 speed difference does not have to be popularized,” Time” can prove it all.

Speaking of disadvantages, the most important thing at this stage is that there are fewer devices with Type-C interfaces. But this is a process, in the process of a new thing began to popularize the stage, we must go through is to adapt to it, and in the process of adaptation, constantly waiting for its team to continue to grow, so as to achieve real popularization.

Just like the transition from iPhone 4S to iPhone 5 at that time, we were not full of offices to find friends who had iPhone 5 phones and Lightning data cables. Type-C is also the same, friends who have Type-C interface devices around them, must have had the trouble of not being able to find type-C data cables and not being able to charge them.

So for readers who want to start or currently have a Type-C interface device, after you enjoy plugging and unplugging worry-free, you also need to consider whether a data cable is really enough, if you go out, there is no data cable, then basically the device belongs to the edge state of absolute “death”. Moreover, after you have a type-C interface device, it will make a large number of spare USB data cables that you have accumulated before meaningless, which is also a necessary way to innovate the process.

In short, Type-C can be said to be a new standard for USB data interfaces in the next few years. In the future, the popularity is believed to be more perfect than it is now, and the speed must be very fast. Judging from the current trend, more and more devices will support the Type-C interface in the future.

TypeB interface: Common in printers and displays with touch and USB interfaces, daily use is low. The Type-B just mentioned has very few application scenarios. But one of his branches, MicroB, dominated the interface standards for most mobile devices before usb-C arrived. There are still many microB-enabled devices in service, including a very few new mobile phones. MircoB is divided into MicroB2.0 and MicroB3.0, and the difference in appearance is that MircroB3.0 is wider based on the 2.0 interface. MicroB2.0 lines can be inserted into the mouth of MicroB3.0, and vice versa. The narrower MicroB 2.0 is a USB 2.0 speed, commonly found in most Android and WP phones in 2014 and before, as well as in a very few brands today. However, the vast majority of mobile phones have now been upgraded to the Type-C standard. After reading this article, are you clear?
