8 ways to use the OTG function of the phone

OTG (On The Go) is a feature that allows your phone, simply put, to connects to USB devices. When the phone has an OTG (you will often come across the term "USB Host"), then it also can send electricity through a USB connector, or the ability power a USB device.

All slightly stronger Android devices have OTG, for example, the Galaxy S2 from 2011 has OTG. But if you don't know if your phone has OTG, just go to gsmarena.com  and enter your phone name in the search. Select your model from the drop-down list and use ctrl + f to start a page search and type USB Host. If he finds it then he owns it, if not then he doesn't.

Ok, if your device has OTG, here's how you can use it:

1. Connect the USB lamp

You can find USB Mi lamps that can serve, in this case, as an additional light next to the phone's flash.

2. USB fan

There are really a lot of fans like this, so here are some ideas: cool down in the summer while reading this blog on your phone/tablet, or watching your favorite series.

3. Charge the phone

3. Charge the phone

And it is possible! I wrote that OTG allows sending e-mails. power via a USB connector, and also the phone is charged that way, so just connect the ends. I've already written about this, so take a look.

4. DVB-T2 television

You can buy this digital signal receiver and watch TV channels completely free on your Android device. And I wrote about it, made a video and a complete manual, so take a look.

5. USB flash

Normally, plug in a USB flash drive and copy the data you need. USB flash will act as an extra card (memory) in the phone and just open the folder in some file manager.

6. Joystick

6. Joystick

Do you have a joystick that connects via a USB cable? No problem, plug in the OTG port and play games on your phone using the joystick for the computer you're used to.

7. Keyboard and mouse

Of course, you can connect a keyboard or mouse and use them normally as you would on a computer.

8. LAN cable

8. LAN cable

You can buy a USB-LAN connector and connect the LAN cable directly to the phone. Wondering why? There are a lot of applications, for example, you have to log in to the router and there is no WiFi (or it is not available) and you do not have a laptop or any computer nearby. Here is salvation.
