It's remarkable how advanced mobile phones have become in recent years. Where before they could only make calls and maybe play a couple of games, now the latest Android smartphone has the capability on par with a full PC. Much like a PC, Android phones are highly adaptable, with their USB ports supporting a variety of useful gadgets and accessories.

Where such gadgets previously required a full PC setup, multiple brands have successfully condensed functionality into compact devices that are entirely USB-C compatible with your Android smartphone's port. These gadgets run the gamut from practical, daily helpers to slightly stranger, but still no less useful implements that you'll be glad to have in a pinch. All of these gadgets are available for purchase on Amazon, where users swear by their efficacy in most cases.
