Great hub to use with Android phones with Type-C power port that supports this

I first asked a question (which I later deleted as there were no answers) if this one Hub would work or not. Work with Google Pixel (phone) to charge the phone, allowing the phone to use connected USB peripherals. I bought a hub and decided the answer was yes. Connecting power to the hub's USB Type-C port provides power to the hub and any attached peripherals. Then when you connect it to your phone, the hub will charge/charge the phone. If you don't power the hub, when you connect the hub to your phone, the phone powers the hub and any peripherals you connect to the hub. With this hub I can connect a regular USB keyboard, mouse and ethernet. Plug adapters into my phone and use those adapters without draining my phone's battery (which was my reason for buying it). Note that the Type-C port on the hub is for power only. You cannot connect a USB Type-C peripheral to a Type-C port. This is not a criticism - the device is described as a 4 port hub and 4 ports is 4 USB Type A ports. I was just wondering if a Type C port could be needed as well, tested it and decided, that I would answer that question to anyone thinking and considering a purchase. My only criticism of the hub is that the blue power light is too bright. It's like I'm physically uncomfortable. I stuck a piece of white pTouch plastic label on the LED and now I can say the hub is working without blinding me. This is a great hub for the money and I am very happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • It's ok
