Slow Qi charge but very useful item.

I ordered the Realm 15-in-1 USB-C Hub Multiport Adapter with 60W Qi Wireless Charging because I always have my phone next to me when I'm working on my laptop and I only have my laptop have a USB 2.0 port. I figured this 15-in-1 would work like a 2-in-1 at least for me. I have to say it's pretty good with some flaws that prevent me from giving it a full 5 stars. First, it's a sleek and compact design. My Samsung Galaxy S9 fits it perfectly and it charges wirelessly, although it's a little slow to charge. Unlike some other port expansion devices, this one is fast enough that I can use one of the USB-A ports for my wireless mouse receiver without interruption. I noticed that when I connected my phone to the USB-C port for data transfer (to move a large amount of video and photo files from my phone to my laptop), it kept disconnecting from my computer during the transfer (I then plugged my phone directly into my laptop's USB-C port to make sure it wasn't my software or cable I was using and there weren't any issues, so apparently the problem was the connection of the Realm- device, which was frustrating.) The different types of ports on this thing combined with the Qi charging capability make it worth it in my opinion. There's nothing I can't connect to this little device, making it very versatile and fitting in a laptop bag. Technology is changing so fast that you never know when you'll need this type of adapter when trying to transfer data between co-workers or classmates. The wireless charging option for my phone is just the icing on the cake. Overall, it's definitely not perfect, but it works.
