Smartphones and tablets get at the end of this year, new micro-usb connectors. The sending of data from and to smartphones and tablets should go faster through the new standard. Also the loading time of these devices would be shortened.
The maximum speed of the new standard is 800Mbps, writes Computerworld on the basis of information of the USB Implementers Forum. This is the micro-usb 3.0 standard a lot less fast than usb 3.0, with a maximum speed of 5Gbps. That is because the port is a lot smaller and the port, less power use than a ‘great’ usb connector.
Not only the transfer of data, but also the loading should be a bit faster if manufacturers the new standard to implement in smartphones and tablets. According to the USB Implementers Forum will become the new default at the end of this year will be used in new smartphones and tablets. The standard is backwards compatible with current usb 2.0 ports.
Micro-usb ports sit on virtually all smartphones and some tablets: iPhone is the only smartphone where there is no micro-usb port in the device. That the a standard has become, partly due to pressure from the European Union, with legislation in this area, the waste volume of written-off phone chargers will reduce.
