The micro-USB port can be connected to your Android Smartphone/tablet, while any USB 2.0 compatible peripheral can be plugged into the other end to work with your Android device.

While every attempt has been made to completely support OTG adapter on almost every device with Android 4.0, there may be rare situations in which a phone may not be compatible with the OTG adapter.
