The world’s first Android phone with a Lightning port was built by an engineer; With video

Last year, a robotics engineer named Ken Pilonel designed the world’s first iPhone with a USB-C port, which was eventually sold at auction for $ 86,000. Now this engineer in his latest project The world’s first Android phone With port Lightning Has designed.

Pilonel explains in his video that this device is more of a fun project for him and he does not intend to sell it. However, inserting this port into an Android phone (in this case Samsung Galaxy A51) Has not been easy, as it is used for both charging and data transfer. As this engineer Explains to EngadgetThe hardest part of the project is finding how the components relate to each other.

He says:

“Lightning cables sold by Apple They will only charge the company’s devices. “So I had to find a way for the cable to recognize that it was connected to an Apple device and that everything had to happen inside the phone, which is another challenge.”

This Android phone will not be sold with Lightning port

Pilonel explains:

“I do not expect anyone to want to do this with their device. “It was for fun and I just wanted to see if I could do it.”

For those who are looking for more details and information about this device, this robotic engineer intends to share a complete video that fully explains how to do this and insert the Lightning port in the phone. He also plans to keep the Android phone after selling the iPhone USB-C at an eBay auction.
