  We don't know what kind of devices you have. But probably they won't need external power. And for a stand it should suffice to use any nearby object.

    Although that seems to be the most logical answer, on the PinePhone plugging the most basic wired keyboard (that does not even have a backlight) reduces the luminosity of the screen to the minimum. Small device tend to be very fiddly with power requirements even for simple tasks (e.g. the older raspberry pi models).

  4G modems tend to need a lot of oomph from the power supply. I'm not sure how much this port offers but standard USB 5V x 0.5A (2.5W) is not going to cut it. TX power alone can go up to 2W and that doesn't include processing, losses etc.
