minus-squarealeph@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35arrow-down5·edit-21 year agoThis is irrelevant. We’re talking about smartphones here, and most new Android phones support > 3.0. Limiting a flagship phone in 2023 to USB 2.0 transfer and charging speeds is a cheapskate move.
minus-squareAlbum@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoThe article only really has facts about the 2.0 cable, anything said about the device is speculated. The entire article is literally based on a tweet where someone tested the cable. The title of the article and of this Lemmy post references that.
