Is this compatible with a J3 Orbit Samsung phone? null

Ah ha! great question. Many people don't know but the Android operating system uses the old DOS and early Windows FAT16 file allocation table for its files. FAT 16 is history in Windows they now use the NTFS file system. Hence you can still plug any Android phone into of Windows computer USB port and transfer files from your phone to a Windows computer. Windows still accept and reads FAT16 files. I do it all the time. Here's the problem with your desired goal. The USB cable that comes with this WD digital drive will NOT be compatible with your Samsung USB port. So No it won't work. And don't waste time trying to get a USB adapter. There are none.
