Samsung's Power Sharing Cable lets you share power between devices

Keeping multiple mobile devices charged can be difficult. Samsung may have the solution with their Power Sharing Cable, which does pretty much what it says: allow charge to be transferred from one device to another. This would be useful if the device you need to use is about to die & no other charging source is available.

If you are thinking of using this, be aware that neither charge, nor discharge is 100% efficient. So there is a significant loss any time charge is transferred between devices.

Perhaps the most likely use is charging a smart watch from your phone.
