READ: What is USB Type-C and why it matters?
Announced in November 2014, Nokia’s first Android tablet, the N1, is one of the first consumer devices to take advantage of the reversible USB Type-C. However, it’s using the older and less powerful USB 2.0 and not the new USB 3.1 standard.
This monster of a phone made an appearance earlier this month. It’s main feature is its implementation of dual batteries (one sealed + one removable) which sums up to a capacity of 6000mAh. But it’s other notable feature is its implementation of the USB 3.1 Type-C.
