USB-C: The future of electronic industry!

Most of us are tired of changing the power adapters since the evolution of technology. We need to switch different adaptors to power up different electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, printers, monitors etc. But what if there was only one adapter which is smart enough to power up heavy duty devices like printers and monitors or to power up low power devices like smartphones, tablets etc. Yes this is possible in 2017 and the years to come.

USB technology has upgraded to a new level, we call it USB 3.1 or simply USB-C or USB type-C. This technology gives us freedom to charge our laptops, smartphone, tablets, power our earphones etc. and can be used to juice up heavy devices. USB-C is already popular in new smartphone devices like Google pixel, Samsung galaxy S8, OnePlus5 and many other flagship devices. Smartphone industry now understands the future of USB-C and is now enhancing the technology to make your life easier. 

Unlike its previous generation, USB-C is reversible. So you can plug it in the right way in first try and every single time. USB-C comes in many variants like Thunderbolt (designed by Intel and made specifically to attach peripherals to a computer), lightening (designed by Apple and made specifically to connect and charge low power accessories like iPhones, iPods, iPads etc.). They all are pioneered by different manufacturers for specific purpose. This makes it more fascinating and makes it universal. This brings the meaning for the name USB that is Universal Serial Bus to life.

USB-C is superfast and can transfer data up to the rate of 10 gigabytes/sec. This enables the use of USB-C on 4k monitors. You may find USB-C port instead of HDMI port in next generation devices. In fact Apple and Google have taken an initiative and have implemented USB-C in their upcoming MacBook and Google’s Chromebook Pixel, which has USB-C ports on either side. They also have an advantage when they serve as headphone jack. Having a USB-C headphone jack can enhance your audio experience. Unlike 3.5mm jacks it doesn’t convert digital signal into analog signal. It plays as they are without altering the signal.  

USB-C plays an important role in the future of Electronic devices. In future we can find USB-C everywhere; it will replace the conventional USB 2.0 and 3.0 connector ports and surely will be used by all Electronic devices manufacturers.

All said, USB-C is definitely a major step in the right direction, and we can’t wait for more companies to start adopting it. It will mean devices with fewer ports, more flexibility, and better data transfer speeds, and even better sound.
