In the early days, when Android smartphones were first popular, Micro USB was used for almost all Android phone charging ports. So far, although mobile devices such as mobile phones have been updated quickly, there are still many mobile devices, such as mobile phones, smart bracelets, bluetooth headsets, etc., that use this charging port, and it has been widely used. In recent years, new mobile phones have started to abandon the micro-usb interface in favor of the type-c interface, so why are mobile phones suddenly switching to the type-c interface? What's the reason? Read on.

First of all, the pros and cons of Micro USB jack can sometimes affect people's use, which is often criticized. Every time you use it, you have to distinguish the positive from the negative, and if you don't do it properly, you won't be able to check it, and sometimes you'll accidentally break the interface. Therefore, compared with Micro USB, type-c does not need to find the correct insertion of positive and negative, and it is too convenient to distinguish positive and negative, which can be said to be perfect, improving users' experience of mobile phones and solving a difficult problem in our use. Of course, this advantage is the most intuitive experience, but there are other advantages.

Second, it can make the phone's interface thinner. As smart phones begin to be fully popularized, all major mobile phone manufacturers start from the appearance of mobile phones and pursue the appearance of beauty and delicacy, which makes the design of mobile phones ultra-thin and the mobile phones of major manufacturers more competitive. At this time, compared with the width of micro USB interface, it is more difficult to realize the concept of ultra-thin. Therefore, type-c interface has come into the vision of most manufacturers, which is one of the reasons why type-c mobile phones are widely used.

Finally, the type-c interface has faster data transmission and higher output voltage. As early as 14 years ago, USB type-c was ready for mass production and adopted three standards. Early smartphones used a 0 interface and had a maximum data transfer speed of 10 Gbit/ SEC. From a practical point of view, although the degree of use is difficult to achieve, but overall, it is also a qualitative change. The output voltage of type-c is increased to shorten the charging time and realize the quick charging of various devices.
