which does claim to work with various smartphones. We'll see.
- xg15 2y agoWould be interested to know that as well. Good luck!
- MarkusWandel 2y agoDunno if anyone stil sees this but.. the gadget came from Ali. Phone doesn't charge through it. However, my work laptop does. If this thing is plugged in between its USB-C dock and the laptop, it is powered, but the dock is not otherwise seen. So the USB-C socket is a full power delivery passthrough but that's all it is. The USB-A port does work; a mouse plugged into it is seen by the laptop. Didn't test the HDMI output. For the phone: Useless. Obviously this phone does not do USB-PD. It just expects the power adapter to deliver 5V. So a limitation with this phone; I'll never be able to simultaneously power it and also get an OTG USB connection.
