    Most phones have standard USB-C connectors where you can connect USB-C storage devices. For USB-A, you obviously need an adapter or a docking station.

      Ok, I was confused because OP said USB “sticks”. I knew that Linux phones have standard USB ports so I thought that maybe modern android phones had them too.

        “USB Stick” is the german word for “USB flash drive”. This sometimes leads to confusion.

        And BTW, I have never seen any phone with an USB-A port. As you mentioned Linux phones, the pine phones come with USB-C.

          Ok, I know what happened. Because of Wikipedia’s new layout, I saw “two USB 2.0 ports” but missed the part where it stated that those were included on the docking bar.

          On a side note, I have seen people take a raspberry PI and use a case with a touch screen and a battery so they can use it as a phone.
