![]() ![]() In fact, Nokia's N1 Android tablet uses a USB Type-C connector, but underneath it's all USB 2.0 - not even USB 3.0. However, these technologies are closely related. USB Type-C is just a connector shape, and the underlying technology could just be USB 2, USB 3, or USB 4. USB Type-C isn't the same thing as USB 3.2 or USB 4, though. ![]() Regular USB 4 has a maximum transfer rate of 40 gigabits per second, and USB v2.0 has a maximum transfer rate of 80 gigabits per second. There are only two versions of USB 4: USB 4, and USB 4 v2.0. USB 4 has tried to avoid falling into the naming trap. When you're buying a USB cable, check out the product description carefully - somewhere it'll actually state the transfer speed it supports. You can be sure that anything with a USB 3.x label will have a transfer speed of at least 5 gigabits per second, but it could be as fast as 20 gigabits per second. USB 3, on the other hand, is a naming catastrophe. USB 2.0 is USB 2.0, and anywhere you see it you can be sure that you'll have a maximum transfer speed of 480 megabits per second. And you'll have no more massive ports taking up an unnecessary amount of room on ever-thinner devices. It's a single USB connector shape that all devices should adopt, so you won't have to keep loads of different USB cables with different connector shapes for your various devices. It's reversible, so you'll no longer have to flip the connector around a minimum of three times looking for the correct orientation. The cable itself has USB Type-C connectors at both ends-it's all one connector. That one tiny connector is small enough to fit into a super-thin mobile device, but also powerful enough to connect all the peripherals you want to your laptop. You'll just need a single cable, whether you're connecting an external hard drive to your laptop or charging your smartphone from a USB charger. This is a single connector standard that every device should be able to use. It's about a third the size of an old USB Type-A plug. This awkward collection of differently shaped connectors for different-size devices is finally coming to a close. USB Type-C offers a new connector standard that's very small. ![]()
