According to new information, Xiaomi will finally bring the USB 3.X standard on her devices for file transfers up to 500MB/s
As some of you know, the USB protocol of Xiaomi mobiles has always remained stuck in the 2.0 version and even the latest flagship models Xiaomi 13 and Redmi K60 Pro are no exception.
This morning the well-known Chinese blogger Digital Chat Station, published an article stating that this year's new phones and tablets from the top five Chinese manufacturers will be equipped with the standard USB 3.x, a big upgrade from the outdated one USB 2.0. Although the blogger did not specify which manufacturer it is, the Xiaomi is the only Smartphone manufacturer among the top five manufacturers in China, which still uses the interface USB 2.0 on her cell phones.
For the uninitiated, the theoretical maximum transfer rate of the interface at USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps, while its speed USB 3.0 is at 5.0 Gbps. The corresponding speed in the most commonly used external USB drives is at 60 MB / s (on HDDs) and 625 MB / s (on SATA SSDs), but the USB 3.0 uses encoding 8b / 10b and only 8 bits of each 10-bit encoding are actual transmission data, so the theoretical maximum speed is 625 MB / s, or multiplied by 0,8 is at 500 MB / s.
It is speculated that the main reason why Xiaomi has used USB 2.0 is that there aren't that many users who need to transfer large files and most users don't care much about this feature.
However, for users using the feature OTG, the increasing speed of technology USB 3.0 it will be very noticeable, especially for tablet users, who will also have a better experience when connecting to a computer to transfer files.
In addition, the display devices that can be connected to USB Type C interface are more and more. For these reasons, many users have requested the Xiaomi to incorporate it USB 3.X on its devices.
