The main uses of USB 3.1 in tablet devices include high-speed data transfer and charging capabilities.?
High-speed data transfer
The USB 3.1 interface offers higher transfer rates, specifically:
USB 3.1 Gen1: capable of transferring at 5Gbps, known as “Super Speed”.
USB 3.1 Gen2: 10Gbps transfer rate, known as “Super Speed+”.
These high-speed transfer rates allow the USB 3.1 interface to quickly transfer large files, high-definition videos, photos, etc., greatly enhancing the efficiency of data exchange.
Charging Function
The USB 3.1 interface not only supports high-speed data transfer, but also has a powerful power supply. It can provide a stable power supply for devices such as tablets, ensuring that the device can work normally or transfer data while charging.
The naming of USB interface versions can sometimes be confusing. In fact, regardless of whether it is labeled as USB3.1 or USB3.2, the Gen1 speeds in it are the same as the original USB3.0, reaching a theoretical 5Gbps, which is equivalent to transferring 625MB of data per second. The faster Gen2 version, on the other hand, remains the same in both USB3.1 and USB3.2, with a transfer speed of up to 10Gbps, which translates to 1250MB of data per second.
