  The Anker 551 USB-C Hub is made of aluminum alloy and appears quite sturdy and durable. Its base is covered with silicone and has raised edges for full protection of the device from scratches and falls.

  To read files from the memory card and USB stick, we go to the tablet's files and see that it reads them as USB 1 and USB 2. We see that the files open quickly, without freezing or distortions, either from the memory card or the flash drive.

  There are no delays, image distortions, or freezing in screen mirroring via HDMI. We can see every application of the tablet on the screen, especially with tablets that have a stylus like the Tab S9 Ultra, the process is even easier. Here, I would like to emphasize that the Anker 551 Hub is more focused on use with iPads, and those of you who are users of these devices will find even more convenience.

  However, there are some disadvantages. First of all, even though I use the 45W Samsung charger that provides super fast charging, the charging is slow when using the Hub. It also does not utilize the entire external screen but loses some on the edges, and the sound is heard through the tablet and not from the screen. While the screen is connected to a PC, the hub connection is exclusively through the tablet and screen, so the use of an external keyboard and mouse is necessary.

  A hub that allows the connection of the tablet to a screen as well as several external devices simultaneously. I particularly noticed the very good build quality and the speed it offers in connections. Whether it is transmitting the image from the tablet to a larger screen or connecting external devices, it does the job seamlessly.

  PROS
  - Build quality
  - Connection speed

  CONS
  - Charging speed
