You can also connect a PS3 controller to a phone via Bluetooth, but it does take a few steps. First, you’ll need to root your Android phone. Then, use an app like Sixaxis Compatibility Checker to ensure your phone is compatible. Once confirmed, download the Sixaxis Controller App, pair your controller, and you’re good to go!

Hot take: I wouldn’t bother connecting a PS3 controller to your phone. Just get a modern Bluetooth controller; it’s way easier and compatible.
