USB OTG: Make your Android Life Easier

--By On October 6, 2015

 

USB OTG, the abbreviation of USB On-The-Go, establishes a communication link between a host device and a client device. USB OTG has two ends. One is a micro-port while another is full-size/standard. Once connected to the micro-port of the OTG, the device (Android phones, and tablets for example) will perform as a host. Device (USB flash drives, smartphones, digital cameras, mice or keyboard) that is connected to another end of the OTG will be a client. In this case, the host device can read data in the client device, such as photos, music as well as videos.
