If it’s power solutions you are after, then UGREEN have got your back with a host of products. We’ve previously spent time with – and continue to use on the daily – the UGREEN Nexode 200W Charger and UGREEN Nexode RG 65W USB C GaN Charger failing to ever imagine a day without those powering our life.
Similar goes for the two UGREEN Nexode Power Banks, 20000mAh 130W and 12000mAH 100W; products that we call on extremely regularly.
But with both of those products handling the power into our many devices, how do we handle integration of multiple sources? Well, we grab the teeny tiny UGREEN Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub. This thing may not blow your mind with what it does, but as something that can be chucked on a backpack, called on in times of need, it’s nearly perfect.
The UGREEN Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub is a super lightweight hub that allows you to connect your laptop – for instance – to numerous accessories. It’s about as small as you need it to be, coming in at around 128 x 48 x 15 mm in dimension. But for us, it’s the weight in which this thing excels, complete at a mere 64 grams. It’s so light that it feels like UGREEN have forgotten to stuff anything inside its plastic outer shell.
But they haven’t and that means that the Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub is capable of allowing transfer from a USB-C lead, normally plugged into a laptop, to external devices that require an HDMI, USB-A or USB-C connectivity. Simple plug and play actions are all it takes for this little device to do its job.
Those ports are found on either side of the Uno 6-in-1, a single HDMI (4k@60Hz) accompanied by a USB-C on the left, capable of charging. We’ve found UGREEN’s additional USB-C to USB-C cable to be a perfect fit for that.
And then double stacks of USB-C and USB-A sit on the right, ready to ram this thing full of memory sticks and card readers, as you look to drag and drop onto your laptop, with theoretical transfer rates running to some 10Gbps.
A single, permanently attached, USB-C cable comes out of the top face of the Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub, straight into your main device.
With this being UGREEN, there’s obviously a bit of fun added aesthetically. Much like on our little Gan Robot charger, the 6-in-1 comes with a tiny LCD screen that provides some kind of notification on what is going on, eyes changing depending on Hub Connected, Displaying, Charging or the double whammy of Displaying & Charging. That screen certainly ensures that the Uno 6-in-1 comes with a little bit of personality, helped by the black ‘headphones’ that break up the otherwise grey slab of a unit that this is.
If all that is what you need from a Hub, then there can be no doubt that the UGREEN Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub will be able to deliver. We still can’t get over how something so small and so lightweight is able to handle so much with such aplomb. But the UGREEN Uno 6-in-1 USB-C Hub does just that. Very much like all our UGREEN products.
