the S5 has a microusb on it, and some other proprietary port next to it. &nbsp;The charger uses both ports, but you CAN still use microUSB cable in the correct shaped port

from what I understand, the galaxy S5's port is a microUSB 3.0 connector, which has backward compatibility with 2.0. <br />

I need a cable/adapter for a samsung galaxy s5 that I can use to connect to a projector. &nbsp;The projector has hdmi ports and vga. &nbsp;I would like to use VGA to see if it works but I can use hdmi if that is easier and better. &nbsp;The plug on the back of the phone is a longer connector that I am used to seeing. &nbsp;Is it micro usb 3.0? &nbsp;It is not as small as some micro usb I have seen. &nbsp;Maybe I am not understanding what I have seen.
