Samsung Power Sharing cable charges microUSB devices with Galaxy phone or tab

Samsung has launched a new Power Sharing cable that lets you use select Galaxy phones and tablets to charge your other devices that have a microUSB port. Priced at $19.99, the cable can be used to share power with any device that has a microUSB port, including wearables and Bluetooth headsets.

That said, Samsung also suggests that the cable won’t let you fully charge your device. Though, it’ll come in real handy when there’s no power source around. You’ll need to download Samsung’s Power sharing app from Samsung Apps or via the Play Store, and then select the amount of power-sharing with another device.

Samsung has listed the following devices capable of sharing power using the new cable: Galaxy S5, Galaxy Tab S 10.5, Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Galaxy Alpha, Galaxy Avant, and Galaxy Note 4.
