The Xperia XZ does not support USB OTG, it does however support the USB-host standard. This will allow you to connect a (for example) computer mouse to your phone using an OTG adapter cable.

Note that you will need an OTG adapter that supports USB-C for it to work with your Xperia XZ

Hi,

Just Connect your pen drive to Type-C adapter and connect your adapter to your XZ.

Then select "Detect USB device" and your device will be detected.

Cable used : Type-C Adapter

Yes..XPERIA XZ SUPPORTS OTG.

Just use a micro USB to USB type-C adapter if you are using a micro usb otg. Connect it to your XZ and Go to = Settings = Device Connectivity = USB connectivity = "DETECT USB DEVICE". That's it. It works fine for me

For me it did not work when using a USB OTG with microUSB.

I have a microUSB to Type C adapter... and an original SONY USB OTG cable that came with my old Xperia Z1 Compact. The OTG cable itself work for my wife's Xperia X, however I can't make it work with my XZ by using the adapter... and when I tap "Detect USB" it ended up the process without any detection... I tried with USB flash drives and with a mouse and keyboard....

I am not going to spend on such little cable again, since its currently my only USB type C device, so I will live without said functionality.

too bad...

I really hate that Sony takes many features over the years...

I have old microHDMI cables that used to work on my Acro S
I have a MHL 3.0 adapter for my Z1C and Z3C
I have a DK31 magnetic dock (and a couple extra adapters) that won't work with anything else
now I have a microUSB OTG adapter that will receive very little use from my wife
and my Car Stereo, the XSP-N1BT, holds my XZ but the position for the USB port interferes, the magnetic charger is useless, and its front facing NFC tag brushes against the Stereo NFC tag when docked.

I wish Sony actually made their products work with each other for longer and had a cohesive vision.

So it will work with for example a SMSL IDOL+ USB DAC?
