PhotoFast MemoriesCable Gen3 Review – Multifunction OTG Drive Loaded with Features

Currently, just spawning high-performance products is not enough to attract the attention of gadget maniacs. More creative ideas are needed to be able to make a product have more selling points or sales points than similar products. This seems to be what PhotoFast continues to do, a manufacturer of peripherals specifically for Apple devices that has spawned quite a few unique and creative accessories products.

The need for storage media on a smartphone has become an increasingly important demand today. Even if your iPhone or iPad has a large internal storage from the start, the size of a photo, video or application, will easily suck up your free storage, believe me. For smartphone users, especially the economical version of the iPhone with very limited internal memory, utilizing external storage via OTG is the most practical solution.

PhotoFast MemoriesCable Gen3

Design and Build Quality

Available in two color options, namely White and Black, PhotoFast MemoriesCable Gen3 offers a design concept similar to the default charging cable for a Power Bank, which is generally short in size. The overall length, which is only 18.15cm, is a solution so that the power supplied to the flash chip remains maximal.

For durability, the main cable is covered with nylon fiber material that reaches 20 sheets. This makes the appearance of this product not easily deformed which often increases the risk of damage to the cable inside.
