USB Type-C who cannot let go of the conversion adapter

HUAWEI P9 has a USB Type-C on the external connection terminal on the bottom, unlike the smartphone that has been sold by the company.The details of USB Type-C are explained in this magazine's "Basic knowledge of mobile phones 717: What is USB Type-C?"It is a new connector for USB.

One of the features of USB Type-C is that, apart from transmission standards, the connector has no front and back, and can be inserted in both directions.In the smartphone, the iPhone uses a Lightning cable, but it can be inserted in both directions.The PC was adopted on MacBooks released last year, and smartphones were quickly adopted and became a hot topic with Trinity's Windows 10 Mobile, a smartphone -equipped smartphone released in Japan this January.

Huawei P9, which was announced in April this year in April this year and announced in Japan in June this year, is probably the first smartphone sold in Japan, but in fact it was released on November last year by Google and Softbank."Nexus 6P" is in charge of development and manufacturing by Huawei, and strictly speaking, it can be said that it is ahead.It has been said around last year that "USB Type-C will become the mainstream for external connection terminals and PCs on PCs in the future," but when viewed as a model announced by each company this fall, it is finally available.It seems that it will definitely be mainstream next year.

It is an honest impression that it is a USB Type-C connector that is inserted in both directions and is certainly considered to be mainstream in the future, but applying it to the actual usage environment.Among the smartphones that I mainly use, there is no USB Type-C, and HUAWEI P9, Moto Z, etc., which are used for overseas business trips and MVNOs, are used.Naturally, the cable connected to the AC adapter with a USB terminal is MicroUSB and Lightning cable.There are some USB cables that can be charged at a hotel on the go or on a business trip, but most of them are microUSB cables.Charging cables prepared for some taxis are only microUSB and Lightning cable.

When that happens, you want a MicroUSB and USB Type-C conversion adapter in case of emergency.The Huawei P9 package includes "USB cable (A to C)" and "USB conversion adapter (Micro-B to C)", but if the cable is used at home, the USB conversion adapter is for going out.It will be carried around.However, small conversion adapters are likely to be lost, and they are often used on other models, so I decided to purchase a USB Type-C conversion adapter and place it in various places.

I purchased the "AUKEY USB C Micro USB conversion adapter" sold on Amazon, and when I purchased it, I could buy it at an affordable price of 899 yen.If this is the only one, the first can be deployed in a portable manner, the second is the car, and the third is for the living room.

By the way, new products released by each company this fall are also sold with models with USB Type-C external connection terminals, but all models sold by mobile phone operators are USB Type-C conversion adapter. Is not included. For example, Sony Mobile's Xperia XZ, au ISAI BEAT, etc. released from NTT DOCOMO, au, and Softbank, but if no USB cable is included, there is no USB Type-C conversion adapter. 。 In other words, if the person at the store forgets advice, it cannot be charged even if you take it home. At least it is a sample, so I want you to attach a conversion adapter ... By the way, NTT DOCOMO and au provide USB Type-C conversion adapters as options, but SoftBank has only AC adapters as options. This is also a little worrisome.

Well, the story has derailed, but in response to such a slightly unfriendly situation, the SIM-free smartphone sold by manufacturers, including Huawei P9, comes with a USB Type-C cable and conversion adapter.As a user, there is an environment where you can purchase with confidence.I don't understand the speculation of each mobile phone operator that "the dealer can sell it as an accessory without bundling ..."hey.
