USB 3 support

Joesenf — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 22:45:31 GMT

Hello folks,

I am looking for a handy and compact Smartphone packed with awesome technology and it seems the Xperia XZ1 Compact would be the perfect choice for me. But as stated on several websites (not clearly on the official specification site though) this phone only supports USB 2.0 which is a huge bummer for me.

So my question is: Are there any plans for an update giving this phone USB 3.0 (or better 3.1) support? It would be really awesome if you ask me

Best regards

Joe

@uliwooly But the Devolpment Profile of the XZ1 Compact also doesn't mention USB3 specifically

Connectivity:

A-GNSS (GPS + GLONASS)[5]
WiFi Miracast
Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless technology
DLNA Certified®
Google Cast
NFC
USB Type-C™

So I guess this phone really just has USB2.0 or am I wrong? If not will there be an update so the compact version of XZ1 will also have USB3?

So no chance of getting an update/a patch for this phone which enables USB3 support?

The XZ1 does support USB3 (Gen1) with the right cable (ie. the UCB30 Sony cable)
