No USB Type-C ports for Sony phones in near future
USB Type-C ports may be the future of mobile devices but Sony doesn’t think that the market is ready for them yet. While the Japanese company is investigating the viability of USB Type-C, it is not planning to put them in its phones or tablets any time soon.
“Of course we’re investigating (USB Type-C),” said Takeshi Nitta, Sony’s program manager, during a technology workshop in Taipei on Tuesday.
USB Type-C is considered superior to the current USB technology as it can play multiple roles including data transfer, faster charging, charging external devices and even doubling up as HDMI port for video output.
Since USB Type C connectors provide all-in-one functionality, they allow devices to be slimmer and sleeker. However, Nitta said that instead of using USB Type-C Sony is focusing more on reducing the thickness of camera modules and displays to cut down the flab.
