USB Type-C is going to be the new standard of USB at some point in the future, but it’s taking some time for manufacturers to adopt the new standard in their new devices. Of course, it will never take off until everyone is on-board, but according to SamMobile, one of the biggest players, Samsung, is going to be on-board for its next flagship. According to the report, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will have a USB Type-C port which should greatly boost the case for USB Type-C given how many of these will sell whenever they are released.
In case you aren’t aware of the benefits of USB Type-C, the most obvious and probably most useful difference to the microUSB adapter is that a USB Type-C adapter is reversible. Yes, with a USB Type-C adapter, the days of figuring out which way a charger is supposed to go in will be over. The other, less obvious, benefits are that USB Type-C connections allow for faster data transfer than even USB 3.0, our current fastest, common method of transferring data, and charging over Type-C is faster too. It’s pretty much a win-win for all, so let’s hope this rumour is true.
