LG Nexus 5: Our focus on OTG and Slimport - Everything Android

LG Nexus

5 has been the focus of numerous meetings these days, but today we wanted to answer two of the questions that you ask us often about this device: You can connect USB sticks by protocol OTG ? How does this connect to a TV with Slimport ‘. The first mainly seems to affect many users probably because the memory of the Nexus device usually is not expandable, and the situation does not change with the latest Top of range of Google.

We anticipate that unfortunately suffered Nexus 5 without the use of third-party applications or alternative methods does not natively support the OTG, but in the video we show you how to do it. Regarding the Slimport instead we used an adapter (possibly also

with other functional Nexus) which externally is very similar to the classic MHL usable for most of smartphones, in this regard Thank Mobilefun.it for providing the accessory in question for the above test, at end of article you will find links to buy around 30 Euros.

Probably some of you will remember the special we published a few months ago on “How to turn your smartphone into a PC?”, in that case, we used an HTC One, but with the LG Nexus 5 could do the same thing and experience this alternative use of our device. We leave you to the video posted on our YouTube channel and if you have not already done so, please view our full review of the Nexus 5.
