For a wireless connection, you can use the Sixaxis Controller app. Download it from the Play Store, pair it with your PS3 controller using Bluetooth, and follow the on-screen instructions. Just make sure your phone is rooted for this method to work.

You'll need an OTG (On-The-Go) cable and a USB cable to connect the PS3 controller to your phone. Simply plug the OTG cable into your phone, then connect the USB end to the PS3 controller. Your phone should recognize the controller automatically!
