What are advantages of Type-C ports and their differences with micro-USB ports?

Advantages of Type-C ports:

• Type-C ports support reverse insertion, so you can insert either end of the cable.
• Type-C ports can transmit data at a higher rate. 4K videos can be transmitted via a USB 3.1 Type-C port.
• Type-C ports support relatively larger charging currents ranging from 3 A to 5 A, and support reverse charging.
• Type-C ports are more refined in structure and more safe in use.

Differences between Type-C ports and micro-USB ports:

• The charging port of a Type-C cable has a flat round shape and supports reverse insertion.

  

• The charging port of a micro-USB cable has a ladder shape and does not support reverse insertion.
