USB Flash Drive Demo on Samsung Galaxy S2 USB OTG

Samsung Galaxy S II supports USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG). However, Samsung Galaxy S2 does not bundle USB OTG cable with it. But you should get it by yourself because the USB OTG adaptor or USB OTG cable is cheap for less than $3 only. I got mine from eBay for $2.68 ~ USB 2.0 Micro-B host OTG cable. The very first thing that I tried on it, USB flash drive. Let’s see how does USB flash drive performs on Samsung Galaxy S2 USB OTG…

Yes, USB flash drive is working perfect on Samsung Galaxy S2 USB OTG. No issue to listen to MP3, view photo, watch WMV video @ 720p or even YouTube MP4 video @ 1080p. USB OTG is very useful because no computer is needed. However, it does not support my USB multi memory card reader and USB Micro SD card reader. Hmm… What USB product can work on Samsung Galaxy S2 USB OTG? I will keep finding and testing…

  1. Hello man,

    Why don’t you try if an external HDD of say 320GB or 500GB, or any of this family of memory disks, works on the Samsung galaxy S2 via this OTG USB? Would be nice to know 🙂
    There are models with the external power supply and others which are powered over the USB…
