Sony introduces new USB sticks that offer support for Type-C and Type-A ports

De Sony we have known that has returned to have losses in its mobile division, although not as much as it was in previous financial results, but that in general it has been able to get up to 1.000 billion profit in the last three months of 2015. Figures that help it to continue betting on new smartphones and what those camera lenses are that are allowing it to obtain very good results by selling them to other companies that launch Android smartphones and that want to have a great ability in photography. Samsung itself has included its sensors in some of its flagships, as happened with the Galaxy S6 that integrated the IMX240 in some of its versions.

The Japanese manufacturer has now announced the launch of a new series of USB sticks which will be compatible with one of the most newsworthy USB connectors in the past year, the new USB Type-C standard. These USB sticks will arrive in three sizes of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. While it is expected that Sony will soon announce the price of these USB sticks, the devices would be available for purchase by next month. With a read speed of 130 MB per second, these three memories are available as a great opportunity for those users who plan to acquire a smartphone with Type-C and thus can "tap" more gigabytes of music, videos and movies.

Compatible with all types of platforms

The Japanese manufacturer has declared that the new USB sticks will be compatible with all existing platforms such as Windows, Macintosh, Android and Chromebooks, something that gives it greater versatility and that, at the time that USB Type-C is more expanded, it will be very interesting to acquire one to connect it directly to the port that we usually use to charge the phone.

Thanks to these dual connectors, Sony USB memories can be compatible with all types of devices such as desktop PCs or those smartphones and tablets. While computers and laptops more traditional ones have USB Type-AWe already have the OnePlus 2 and Google's Chromebook Pixel that offer support for USB Type-C connectivity. So we could be hooking this Sony USB stick onto our laptop to pass it directly to our OnePlus 2 to directly pass large files.

Versatility and a developing USB market

While we are busy moving files through the cloud or services like Pushbullet, Sony is clear: «The USB market is developing and Sony has a solution for dedicated storage to make sure you don't lose data between new devices. This design makes it easier to transport your data and ready when you need it.»

We are waiting for the Galaxy S7 to incorporate the new USB Type-C standard and for more manufacturers to bet on it, since this will allow this type of USB memory to have a greater use and allow the user switch from your computer or laptop to your smartphone with the ease of connecting such a skewer. We must also have some of the problems that arose with the OnePlus 2, although this will not limit that we see more and more devices with Type-C arrive. Apple and Google are including it, as we learned with the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X, so the acquisition of such a memory will come in handy for those who have some of the Google devices.

Sony's new USB sticks offer support to Windows 7 and higher, OS X 10.8 and Android 5.0 Lollipop. Now we will only have to know the price of these striking devices that have a launch date for the month of February. Some USB memory sticks that are very practical and provide a lot of functionality, and which incidentally also have a good design to become a product desired by many when they can access a terminal with USB Type-C.
