10 Things You Didn't Know Your Nintendo Switch Could Do

10. Charge Your Phone Using The Switch As A Power Bank

Since the battery life on modern smartphones is reliably terrible, it's all too easy to find yourself out-and-about with a dead (or dying) phone.

If you find yourself in this situation and you happen to have a Switch handy - with some juice left, of course - then fear not! You can actually use Nintendo's versatile handheld as an alternative power bank for your thirsty smartphone.

Let's use an iPhone as an example. If you own a lightning to USB-C cable, simply connect the lightning end to your phone, and the USB-C end to the bottom of your Switch. Ta-da! Now you can play some Breath Of The Wild and charge your iPhone simultaneously. Brilliant.

Presumably, if you have a cable that's USB-C on one side and whatever you need to plug into your dead smartphone on the other, the Switch can charge pretty much anything this way.
