Unknown Uses of OTG Cable That Will Convince You to Buy One

Abdulrahman Mohammed has definitely reviewed several things about the OTG cable before and he also reviewed a topic about his experience with the OTG cable in detail. But since I recently purchased this cable for the Nexus 6P phone, I want to review my experience where I have done several experiments with this cable and did things you may not know and may not have tried, and I want to present them to you today. Surely, you should review the topics mentioned earlier to find out if your phone support this cable or not, and also we will not repeat the other methods, so before continuing reading, read Abdulrahman Mohammed’s topics about the uses of this cable and then continue this topic.

1. Browse files from one phone to another

You can connect the phone to another phone using the OTG cable via your regular cable MicroUSB To USB, so that you can connect the two phones to each other, thereby allowing you to browse the files on the other phone directly from your phone and also transfer files between them. And surely, this use is excellent as it allows you to transfer and browse phone files through another phone directly, and there are some applications that enable you to transfer contacts and data files to the phone as well.

2. Charge a phone from another phone

You can also use your phone connected to the OTG cable to charge another phone you have directly as if it were connected to the charger. For example, you may be traveling abroad and have a phone with a full charge and you want to charge another phone and do not have a power bank, so you can charge this phone through your full phone, and this is certainly excellent, important, and very useful.

3. Connect your camera to the phone

You can also, through the OTG cable, browse files and photos on the camera directly from the phone, where you can view the photos, transfer them, and control them. Without the need to connect the camera to the computer, through this cable, you can connect it directly to the phone, view the photos and videos, transfer them, and maybe upload them to Facebook for your friends.

4. Connect the internet to the phone via LAN cable

This use is really great and was under experimentation for me as I needed to buy a LAN TO USB cable so that I can connect it to the OTG cable and then connect the phone to the internet directly through the cable, and this use is wonderful as you will not need to connect the phone to Wi-Fi for those who do not have a router. [Turn your device into a wireless router]

And certainly, as we mentioned before, connecting the internet directly from the router via the cable is better than connecting through Wi-Fi, so the speed will be faster. According to my experience, the download speed through the cable to the phone is faster than Wi-Fi, so the method is very useful for downloading on your phone.

5. Connect your phone to an external hard drive

Certainly, you can connect the external hard drive to your phone through the OTG cable, but the types of external hard drives that have a storage capacity of 1 terabyte or less may work, otherwise, I do not think it will work unless it has an external power unit to supply it with the necessary electricity. Let me tell you that we have tried this method, but we do not recommend it at all, and the reason you can find out through the topic of why I did not buy an external hard drive for the TV? As the matter is similar.
