This hub features a compact design that is also travel-friendly, crafted from durable aluminum and equipped with braided cables. Weighing in at only 144 grams, it’s perfect for both daily use and travel purposes.
Connectivity Options
On the connectivity side, it boasts a robust set of features: three USB-A 3.0 ports, a USB-C 3.0 port, an HDMI 2.0 port that supports 4K@60Hz, a Gigabit Ethernet port, SD and TF card slots (note that they can’t be used at the same time), a 3.5mm audio jack, and a PD-compatible Type-C input. This means users can connect multiple devices, enjoy high-speed internet, output to an external monitor, and even access SD cards from cameras—all through one cable.
Data transfer rates can reach up to 5Gbps on the USB 3.0 ports, and the USB-C PD input allows for fast charging up to 100W. In practice, it can deliver 90W to your laptop while reserving 10W for accessories.
Audio and Compatibility
For audio, the 3.5mm jack is versatile, supporting headphone output and microphone input, along with in-line controls—ideal for video calls or just listening to music. The hub is widely compatible; it works with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android while supporting plug-and-play and hot-swapping features.
Just one important note—your device must have a fully functional USB-C port that supports DisplayPort 1.4 and PD 3.0 to utilize all the hub’s capabilities. If it doesn’t meet these standards, some features may be limited.
Xiaomi has also rolled out two new home appliances: an efficient central air conditioner with AI controls and an integrated air purifier, as well as an affordable compact refrigerator that delivers good performance without breaking the bank.
