Old Samsung connecting cable

[Samh]

My gf wants to charge up this old Samsung to see if it works. I don't know what you call it but it looks like the type of USB I have see on back up drives. A micro USB fits one half of the socket but not the other half. I assume that is a clue so can I fit a micro USB to the side that it fits to charge up the phone?

I had one of those, Note 3?, a long time ago.  Weird double plug.  But if a micro USB fits half of it what happens when you try that?  Nothing ventured......

I have only ever seen this on back up drives. As you say, might just as well try it.
