ieGeek OTG USB cable

It’s hard to get excited about a USB cable but this really does add a lot of functionality that you might not have considered before as the majority Android devices don't come with OTG adapters included.

As well as supporting the standard data transfer and fast
charging this cable also adds the OTG (on the go) capabilities. This allows you
to charge device to device which is particularly handy for accessories, such as
charging wireless headphones while you’re out and about. On top of this, the
cable also allows you to connect a phone or keyboard to your device which is
nice if you have to type long emails or documents on mobile or tablet.

However, my favourite capability of the cable is that it
gives you the ability to connect external USB storage to your device. This
opens up so many possibilities. For example connecting an SD card reader and
uploading photos straight from your camera’s memory card to social media sites.

I travel a lot and prefer to travel light and so don’t
travel with a laptop. The lack of a laptop poses certain issues, but the OTG cable
solves many of these. You can back up photos from your phone straight to a USB
or external hard drive, both of which are much easier to transport than a
laptop. Perhaps my favourite part is being able to access the media from a USB
stick on your phone. This allows me to watch films or listen to music without
having to sacrifice valuable storage space on my device.

This cable really does add a lot of functionality and at £6
it’s not that much more expensive than a standard cable – so definitely worth a
look. However I would say that the cable was a bit stiff going into my devices
and you had to give it a bit of a shove. I would have liked that action to be a
lot smoother as it is a crucial part of the operation.
