I just bought 69€ Xiaomi Redmi 9A and accidentally discovered it has full-fledged USB-OTG. This was not mentioned in specs and cheapest OTG-phone seems to be around 300€.
What is going on, maybe NFC and other expensive goodies are just disabled by software? And maybe this OTG just stops working at next update?
- zamadatix 5y agoOTG isn't rare in low end hardware these days it's just really low on the list of things most low end phones think the users will care about. I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply forgotten about and not listed more often than the hardware+software weren't set up to do it. E.g. the Pi Zero is $5 and comes with an OTG port, it's really not a matter of cost rather focus.
