Micro-USB

Micro USB is a compact USB connector that was the standard for charging smartphones, tablets, and power banks for years. These days, the micro USB connector is becoming less common.

What is USB-A?

USB-A is the most common and longest-used USB connector. This flat, rectangular port is found on many power banks, chargers, and cables. USB-A easily charges smartphones, tablets, and accessories. While USB-A is perfectly suitable for standard charging, it usually offers lower charging power than USB-C. When choosing a power bank, you'll often see both USB-A and USB-C connectors for maximum compatibility.
