Sony won’t launch phones with USB Type-C anytime soon

Sony Mobile does not plan to launch phones equipped with USB Type-C connector in the near future. The Japanese tech giant is considering the connectivity solution, but will wait for it to gain more traction in the industry before committing to it.

Apparently, the new connector will not help Sony make thinner and lighter smartphones. Currently, the company is focused on producing thinner camera and display modules in order to achieve the aforementioned goal.

USB Type-C is gaining popularity because of its reversible plug connector and potential for speedier data. Both Apple and Google released notebooks featuring the new connector. The search giant is also committed to bringing it to it Android smartphones as well.
