The dual-plug USB drive allows for quite data transfers

The whole world probably knows by now that Samsung has done the unthinkable and removed the microSD card slot from its flagship smartphones.

As a matter fact, both Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will come without microSD card slot, so you're left with the default storage inside the phone. Luckily, they will come in different sizes: 32GB, 64GB and 128GB.

However, if you can't afford to pay for a more expensive Samsung Galaxy S6 you might want to take into consideration another solution.

Dubbed Leef Bridge 3.0, the dual-plug USB drive is fully compatible with most Android devices. It features a full USB on one end and a microUSB on the other. It's small (21.7 X 38.6 X 8 mm) and comes in different sizes: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

Leef Bridge 3.0 allows Android users to quickly transfer files between their PC and smartphone, but the small USB drive can also be used while on the move to watch movies or listen to music.

The device does not require any cables or Wi-Fi network, as it works just like a flash drive with your phone. It supports USB 3.0, but it's also USB 2.0 backwards compatible.

Make sure your smartphone/tablet has a file manager installed

Keep in mind that you don't need any third-party apps to use Bridge 3.0 with your Android smartphone, as many come with their default file manager.

However, if your smartphone does not feature a file manager the folks behind Bridge 3.0 have partnered with ASTRO to provide a file management solution.

Leef Bridge 3.0 works with all smartphones powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and an enabled USB OTG system. It's also compatible with all Nexus 5 and 7 with the installation of Nexus Media Importer or ES File Explorer, but it will not work with Nexus 4.

The Leef Bridge 3.0 prices start at $17.99 for the 16GB version, but it can go up to $51.99 for the 64GB version. The 32GB variant sells for $28.99.
