      TIL my external hard drives use micro 3b. I didn’t realize that was a standard… figured it was a proprietary to prevent using the wrong cable…

        Samsung phones used this for a couple years, I think around the S5 days?

          Yes, the Galaxy S5 was the only Samsung flagship using the micro USB 3.0 port. They backpedaled to micro USB 2.0 in S6 and S7, and then migrated to USB-C in S8. I’m not sure about the Note series.

        You can use an old micro usb cable in the small hole and it will likely work, only at USB 2.0 speed.
