It’s time to transform your phone into a true workhorse

We’re at a point now where phones just pack a ton of power. Flagships have been doing this for a while, and now most midrange devices can easily handle everything you can throw at them. Even cheap phones can tackle most tasks with ease, which makes them ideal for a ton of different uses.

Now, I’m not talking about multitasking on the phone with different apps or running a business empire from your phone. Instead, I’m talking about transforming your device so that it can really become a true productivity or entertainment machine. We recently touched on the latter, but I think this cheap $15 accessory can really flesh out the former.

It fills in the gaps

The power is all there when it comes to phones and tablets, but what’s really missing to take it to another level are the ports. Luckily, USB-C is a very powerful and versatile connection, making it easy to add pretty much anything you need. However, a USB-C hub is going to really take things up a notch, and do it in a concise manner.

And while there are plenty of different options to choose from, the Verbatim 6-in-1 USB-C hub is compact and comes with a good variety of ports that you can really use. In addition to USB-C, so you can keep your device powered when the hub is being used, there’s also a USB-A port, along with microSD and SD card slots.

In addition to the above, there’s an HDMI port and 3.5mm audio jack as well. So, as you can tell, this small USB-C hub is absolutely packed. The only thing to note is that in order for some of the ports to work, you will need to have a compatible device. For example, not all devices will be able to output using HDMI or stream audio using the 3.5mm audio jack on the hub.

It’s versatile

While we’ve been talking about phones, you can also use this for tablets and PCs as well. It’s also great for PC gaming handhelds, and Android gaming devices as well. You can use it with pretty much any device that has a USB-C port.

And the best part is that the cost isn’t all that much, coming in at just $15 right now. But if this sounds like something you’ve been looking for, now’s going to be a good time to pick one up.
