Sony Launches 2 In 1 Dual Connector USB Drive for Smartphones
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 Dual Connector USB Drive – USA-SA1
Mumbai: Sony Dual Connector USB Drive – USA-SA1 - with microUSB port on one side and a regular USB port on the other. The tiny device can be used as an external storage for smartphones. The same was released in USA for $20 and more.
Earlier this year, a similar Verbatim USB OTG drive has been launched and Sony has followed in the footsteps of Verbatim, but has greatly reduced the size of the device making it very compact and easy to use. The new USB device is very small and can easily fit plug into the device and definitely won’t look awkward.
The USM-SA1 is compatible with Android devices that comes with USB OTG support and runs on Android 4.0.3 or above (support for 4.4 KitKat is coming soon). The tiny little device is made of a metal body which makes it quite durable and there is a strap hole through which one 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 or unplug from the PC.
The USB device is available in 8 / 16/ 32 GB variants and the pricing starts from Rs. 746. The USB drive is available in black color and is available in the market right now. In the words of Viviano Cantu, Director of consumer media marketing of Sony Electronics, “Consumers want to let a friend see the photo they just took or share a video easily with as few steps as possible. These new drives combine convenience, peace of mind and performance and are perfect for mobile multi-tasking.”
