Samsung is launching a new microUSB to microUSB power cable that lets you charge your gadgets by drawing power from your Galaxy smartphone or tablet. The cable has an arrow indication to show the power flow and officially works with the Galaxy S 5, Galaxy Tab S 10.5, Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Galaxy Alpha, Galaxy Avant and Galaxy Note 4.
As Samsung suggests, the cable is perfect for charging up the Galaxy Gear Live from the Galaxy Note 4′s 3,220mAh battery. That conveniently fixes the problem with smartwatch batteries, which we wished didn’t even exist in the first place, but let’s not digress.
The company also has an app to accompany the cable. It allows you to chose how much power you’d like to transfer from your device to the one you’re charging. You can also monitor the charging progress, but, sadly, the app is available only for the Samsung supported devices.
Currently, the cable retails for $19.99 from Samsung’s US store, but we’re sure the company will also launch it in more markets in due time.
