Can this product interface with any Smartphone device for Backup / Restore?

Android smartphones can connect to USB memory sticks and hard drives via OTG cable. Drive must be formatted FAT32 not NTFS. In my view, it makes little sense to connect 5 TB drive.

Thanks.

In this case, the 5TB External Hard Disk Drive will be powered up using the Smartphone's Battery similar to USB Pen Drives?

Probably not. You may need an external power supply, some OTG adapters have an option to connect it.
