Hello 

I have a Galaxy A15 and wish to download photos to my PC. My PC has vacant USB ports for one end of a cable, but my phone has no USB slots.

So both endings need to be different. What type of cable do I need, please?

Your phone has a USBC port, which is the same port for charging, You would need a USBC to USBC cable to use Samsung smart switch, Any cable would work correctly

This is the spec sheet for your phone

You would need a USB-C to plug into your phone and a USB-A to plug into your PC if it doesn't have a USB-C port

So you would need a USB-C to USB-A cable

I believe you can transfer them by Bluetooth. No cable needed. If your computer has Bluetooth.

You need a usb cable that has 2 data wires included with charging wires. The phone takes usb c cable and your pc, whatever is available usb c or a. Look for charging usb cables with data wires. There is many to choose from and they are not expensive. A15 has usb c slot on the bottom of the phone.

To connect your Galaxy A15 to your PC for transferring photos, you'll need a USB cable with a USB Type-C connector on one end (for your Galaxy A15) and a USB Type-A connector on the other end (for your PC). Here’s what you should look for:

1. USB-C to USB-A Cable: This is the most common type of cable you'll need. The USB-C end will connect to your Galaxy A15, and the USB-A end will plug into your PC.



You can find these cables at most electronics stores, online retailers like Amazon, or even in phone accessory shops. Look for a cable that supports data transfer, as some cheaper cables may only support charging.
