Sony launches 2 in 1 Dual Connector USB Drive for smartphones and tablets in India


Sony has announced and launched a very interesting USB storage device that can connect to both PCs and Smartphones. In the days where smartphone storage is becoming increasingly insufficient, Sony has launched a USB device with microUSB port on side and a regular USB port on the other. The tiny device can be used as an external storage for smartphones. Earlier this year, we unboxed a similar Verbatim USB OTG drive and Sony has followed in the footsteps of Verbatim, but have greatly reduced the size of the device making it very compact and easy to use.

The new USB OTG device is very small and can easily fit plug into the device and definitely won’t feel awkward. The USB OTG drive is available in 8/16/32GB variants and the pricing starts from Rs. 746. The USB OTG drive is compatible with Android 4.0.3 + devices and works with PCs.

The tiny little device is made of a metal body which makes it quite durable and there is a strap hole through which you can attach the device to either a keychain or the phone itself. The microUSB port of the Dual Connector USB Drive USM-SA1 is protected by a protective cap cover that not only protects the microUSB port, but also locks into the USB port there by making it easier to plug/unplug from the PC.

The pricing of the USM-SA1 USB drive is as follows

  • 8GB  – Rs 746
  • 16GB  – Rs 1,399
  • 32GB  – Rs 2,633

The USB drive will be available in black color and is available in the market right now.
