This is mighty useful and something I wouldn't know to search for. Thanks!
Do modern android phones have standard USB ports or can you just use USB storage devices through the charging port with an adapter?
Most phones have standard USB-C connectors where you can connect USB-C storage devices. For USB-A, you obviously need an adapter or a docking station.
Ok, I was confused because OP said USB "sticks". I knew that Linux phones have standard USB ports so I thought that maybe modern android phones had them too.
"USB Stick" is the german word for "USB flash drive". This sometimes leads to confusion.
And BTW, I have never seen any phone with an USB-A port. As you mentioned Linux phones, the pine phones come with USB-C.
Ok, I know what happened. Because of Wikipedia's new layout, I saw "two USB 2.0 ports" but missed the part where it stated that those were included on the docking bar.
On a side note, I have seen people take a raspberry PI and use a case with a touch screen and a battery so they can use it as a phone.
Tried to use this the other day. Seems like it doesn't work on Android 14?
It worked fine on mine
What phone?
