    Zendure SuperHub Review – 2-in-1 Power Adapter & Charging, Data/Video Hub with Dual PD

    Whenever you’re on-the-go, you always try to bring the items you need to get work done. Essential items like your work laptop, USB Flash Drives and/or external HDDs/SSDs, your tablet and smartphone, a powerbank, your wireless earbuds, an Apple Watch, and maybe even a high-quality camera. While most of these items will probably need an adapter or some other accessory at some point, the Zendure SuperHub eliminates the need for most adapters and powerbanks, and also features a ton of input ports.

    The Zendure SuperHub is a 2-in-1 credit card-sized 4-port power adapter and hub. This small, yet super powerful device works simultaneously as an integrated charging, data and video transfer solution for work, meetings, travel, entertainment and more.

    While your laptop’s power adapter can easily weigh you down, getting the Zendure SuperHub would be the ultimate “power bank upgrade”. Not only is it small and lightweight, but it also features a ton of different input ports that are compatible with almost any portable device you can think of. This includes tons of laptops, tablets, Apple and Android Smartphones, wearable devices and more.

    Let’s take a detailed look at it and check everything it has to offer.

    DESIGN & SPECS

    The Zendure SuperHub 2-in-1 Power Adapter and Hub is as said, a really small and lightweight device. This gadget measures just 3.3 inches long by 2.3 inches wide by 1.2 inches tall (83 x 58 x 30 mm) and only weighs 4.6 oz. (131.7 g).

    This means that “wherever your day takes you, this amazing SuperHub lets you do more while carrying less.”

    As stated before, this 2-in-1 credit card-sized power adapter and hub is incredibly small. You can easily fit in your backpack, one of your jacket’s pockets, or you can ultimately carry it in your hand without any inconvenience.

    The Zendure SuperHub comes equipped with a total of four (x4) connectivity ports (USB-C1, USB-C2, USB-A and HDMI) and features Dual PD (Power Delivery) for its two USB-C ports – 30W Power Delivery + 18W Power Delivery. This ultimately allows you to charge up to three devices simultaneously – two devices via both its USB-C ports and one other device via its USB-A port.

    There’s one USB-C1 Input, working both as a charger with a featured 30W of Power Delivery (offers Dual PD) and as a 5 Gbps Data/Video HUB, one USB-C2 Input that features 18W of Power Delivery (also offers Dual PD), a USB-A port that works both as a charger with a featured 7.5W of Power Output (no Dual PD) and as a 5 Gbps Data/Video HUB, and an HDMI port that offers up to 4K@60Hz of data transferring (Image/Video).

    The Zendure SuperHub is powered by a single AC Power Cable, which can be connected to its AC Connector port (located on the opposite side of its other input ports).

    With cutting edge GaN technology, the SuperHub is both handy and portable, and features a smaller footprint than a credit card.
