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?
