Difference Between the Mini USB Interface and the Micro USB Interface?

Everyone knows that most of the charging cables of Android phones use the unified Micro USB cable interface, but there is a small part of the Android phone that uses the data cable of the Mini USB interface, and the interfaces of the two phones are different. What is the difference between the Mini USB interface and the Micro USB interface data cable?

What is the data cable of the Mini USB interface

       
The Mini USB interface data cable is a standard 5 pin interface. Small size, often used in small electronic products such as mobile phones. It is rarely used on the market now. My first button phone is the data cable of the Mini interface. In the past, the most common is the Mini USB interface data cable, which is mainly used in card readers, MP3, digital cameras, mobile hard drives, and old mobile phones.

What is a Micro USB interface cable

       
The Micro USB cable is the data cable we use often. This is the data cable that our Android phones often use to charge. It is a portable version of the USB2.0 standard and is smaller than the Mini USB interface data cable. It belongs to the next-generation specification of the Mini USB data cable and is also a 5-pin interface. It can be said that the volume is smaller, the life is longer, and the data transmission is faster.

Due to the difference in interface design, it can be seen from the appearance that the Micro USB interface is reduced on the basis of the Mini USB interface. The planar dimensions of the two are not much different, but the height is reduced by about 1/2. For example, the height of the Mini USB interface is 4mm, and the height of the Micro USB interface is 2mm. Although the size of the Micro USB is smaller, the performance is improved, and the life of the Micro USB interface is higher than that of the Mini USB interface.
