A USB-C OTG adapter: Give your phone a USB-A port.

Your phone has one small USB-C port, and nearly everything else you own has the old flat USB-A plug. An OTG adapter is the small piece that lets them meet: pendrives, card readers and even a keyboard plug into the phone, and the phone reads them.

Perfect for

Why you will want it

  • Old plugs, new phone

    Any USB-A device with a plug fits: pendrives, card readers, a keyboard, a mouse.

  • It weighs almost nothing

    Keep it on the key ring or in the phone case. You will only need it on the day you need it, and then you will be glad.

  • Straight to the phone

    Photos from a pendrive, or from a camera card, onto the phone, with no computer in between.

  • Nothing to set up

    The adapter has no battery and no app. When the phone supports it, you plug in and the phone does the rest.

Perfect when…

  1. A friend gives you a pendrive full of photos, and your phone has nothing to put it in.

  2. You pull a card out of a camera and want to see the pictures on the phone right now.

  3. You want to type on the phone with a real keyboard.

Check before you buy

Two minutes with the listing now beats a surprise later. Look at these three things first.

We have not tested this product ourselves. It is an example of a well-known make that is widely sold, and the listing on Amazon.in is the place to check the details against your own phone and computer.

  • Does your phone support USB OTG?

    Most recent Android phones do, but some need it switched on in the settings and a few cannot. Check the phone’s manual.

  • The right shape

    You want a USB-C plug that goes into the phone and a USB-A socket for the pendrive or the reader. The listing should show both.

  • Its speed

    A USB 3 adapter lets a fast drive run fast. A plain USB 2 one holds it back to older speeds. The listing says which it is.

Works with ZeroMDroid

With an adapter the phone can mount a pendrive or a card. ZeroMDroid lists those drives and can share them with your paired computers, so the files on a pendrive in the phone can be fetched from the computer over Wi-Fi.

Questions people ask

Short, plain answers, including how this link works.

Is it the same as a hub?

No. An OTG adapter changes a plug so that one USB-A device can be used with a phone. A hub gives a laptop several ports. Many people need only one of the two.

Will it power a hard drive?

Phones give little power. Many pendrives and cards work. A drive with a spinning disk may need power of its own, and some phones will not feed it at all. Check the drive’s listing and the phone’s manual.

Do I pay more if I buy through your link?

No. The price is the same with or without our link, and Amazon.in shows it, not us. If you buy, Fabrixly earns a small commission from Amazon. Nobody pays us to list a product.

A USB-C OTG adapter: worth a look?

No rush. The listing has the details, and what to check is right above. If it fits your phone and your computer, it is a small thing that makes a big job easier.
