No, not all Android devices have USB-on-the-go support. GSMArena claims that your device doesn't, but they'll only be going on the specification.

The tool could be reporting that your phone has the software support for acting as a USB host, but unless the hardware also supports USB-OTG, that's not going to help you.

    @Joe_Vj_95 That's quite a bold claim. I'd be interested to know where you heard it.

  • @DanHulme check Android official docs at developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/usb/index.html: "USB accessory and host modes are directly supported in Android 3.1 (API level 12) or newer platforms"

    @GuidoGarcía That doesn't say anything about the hardware, just that the OS supports it.
