Nokia N1 - the first gadget with USB Type-C connector

The problem of "superposition" of the USB connector is known to everyone, they joked about it many times. Fortunately, this problem, although a minor one, will soon be solved by issuing a universal USB Type-C reversible data cable . This standard has additional advantages compared to the previous ones: for example, the data transfer rate over it can reach 10 gigabits per second, plus added support for the Display Port.

Why do we remember the merits of the standard in this post? The fact is that the Nokia tablet, announced just the other day, is the first device that supports just such a standard, USB Type-C. This tablet has already been written on Geektimes , but nothing interesting has been said about the support for the new standard.

USB Type-C specifications were introduced in August, and most companies are waiting for CES-2015 in January to announce new devices that support this standard. But one thing is clear - a tablet from Nokia - the first such device, here the Finns were ahead of the rest. True, the leadership is only in the announcement, since the tablet will be released on the market on February 19, 2015. Most likely, other companies will have time to release their own devices with USB Type-C support earlier.

Another important point is that the Nokia tablet will support USB 2.0 instead of USB 3.1. This is explained by company representatives that there is simply no Intel chipset with USB 3.1 on the market, so USB 2.0 chipsets were used. This means that data will be transferred more slowly than in the case of USB 3.1, and the Display Port will also not be supported in this case.
