Not only HUAWEI, but still a surprising microUSB terminal.

It is famous that GMS (Google Mobile Service) is not loaded, but the cheapest model "HUAWEI P40 lite E" did not have a USB-C port.

It's already 2020 ...

Terminals that use microUSB frequently, such as the Sony "ZV-1" announced the other day, are still on the market, but how can I operate smartly even if USB-C and microUSB terminals are mixed? Shall we?

Why is microUSB useless? Why USB-C is preferred

The feature of USB-C is that it can carry higher power than microUSB and can be inserted either up or down. When connecting the microUSB cable, it could not be connected if it was not oriented correctly, so it was necessary to check the vertical orientation. However, USB-C can be connected in either direction, so you don't need to check it. Because of this convenience, it is the mainstream charging (communication) terminal used in recent gadgets.

On the other hand, gadgets that use microUSB, such as the P40 lite E, are still on the market. However, as for things related to many gadgets in life, it is easier to charge if the terminals are unified as much as possible, so it is troublesome to operate if microUSB terminals and USB-C terminals are mixed around us. Therefore, when comparing the two terminals, the USB-C terminal, which is more convenient, is preferred.

However, even with recent terminals, there are still quite a few ... Isn't there some people who say, "I bought it if it had USB-C installed!"

I'm not the only one who was particularly shocked when the ZV-1 announced the other day was a microUSB.

How to operate easily even if microUSB and USB-C are mixed

The reason why microUSB is still adopted is that the introduction cost of USB-C is high and compatibility problems. So, I can't help but mourn that the microUSB device gets mixed in the pouch. If you devise a charging cable and a terminal that you usually carry around, you can operate the inside of the pouch as smartly as possible.

By having a USB-C to microUSB cable in addition to a USB-C to USB-C cable, you can charge everything with a USB-C AC adapter. Now you don't have to carry two AC adapters, one for the microUSB terminal and one for the USB-C terminal.

Another option is to use a magnetic cable. If you use this, even if microUSB and USB-C terminals are mixed, you can operate with one cable. However, there are few products that support high output, and there are disadvantages that it is difficult to remove if iron sand is attached to the magnet part, so it will not spread easily.

After that, I dare to go against the times and unify the terminal itself with microUSB ... (laugh)

Coordinating with P40 lite E as an example

・ HUAWEI P40 lite E (smartphone)

・ Jabra Elite 65t (completely wireless earphone)

・ Anker PowerCore Fusion 5000 (mobile battery)

In this case, one microUSB cable is all right !!

I myself use a mixture of microUSB and USB-C. Although there are some inconveniences, it is not stressful to devise a cable.

If you do not make a mistake in the cable combination, you can use it conveniently even if USB-C and microUSB terminals are mixed.
