USB OTG Checker

USB OTG Checker is a purely informative Android application which checks whether your smartphone is compatible with USB OTG or On The Go devices or not.

Check USB OTG compatibility

Want to connect a USB keyboard or game controller to your smartphone? Well, you should know that not all Android devices are set up for this (although every halfway decent phone now allows it).

If you are not 100% sure if your mobile phone is compatible, there is an application that allows you to easily check if your smartphone is USB OTG or On The Go, i.e. if it allows the use of external devices that connected directly to the mobile phone via USB. We are talking about the USB OTG Checker.

How does it work?

This small app simply checks if the smartphone has a USB manager by looking for the android.hardware.usb.host.xml file, which is essential for the smartphone to work. And that's it, this little tool doesn't do anything else. If the device is not compatible, this app will not fix the problem.

However, if the smartphone doesn't support USB OTG, that doesn't mean that the peripheral device you're trying to connect won't work. It also depends on the type of lock and the drivers available for each. User must try it.
