Customer Review

A few days ago I have again something better known by the company R & M Technology GmbH of Leipzig under the product name Inateck get to test. It was a USB 2.0 Hub, which allows you to connect USB devices with a mobile phone or tablet. What experiences have I collected, I now learn in my report.

== Specifications ==

The exact designation of the unit is Inateck portable OTG hub HB4201. The small shiny black plastic case measures 63 mm x 63 mm x 12 mm. With a 15 cm long cable including micro USB connector, you can connect it to a mobile phone or tablet. Everything together weighs only 40 grams on the scale. The Hub has 4 USB2.0 ports and can accommodate as accurate as many devices. In terms of convertibility, I must say the device is recognized by all operating systems, under which I operate the unit immediately. According to the description it works on Windows XP / Vista / 7/8, under MAC OS and under. But I have tested it with a smartphone, a tablet Microsoft Surface Windows RT and its Android phones and more. All devices recognized the Hub immediately. But information about rates I could find out about the device either on the packaging or on the Internet.

== == Prices

Just like all products bearing the name Inateck, also of HB4201 in Germany is primarily marketed and sold through the Amazon portal. On the Inateck page information is obtained while the product is passed but when buying interest to Amazon. Recommended retail prices are here 19.99. That would be a real commercial price. Currently, the device is offered but for 8,99. That's at what the device may then already a bargain. For the money you would not even get a USB2.0 / Micro USB cable, ie charging cable with well-known manufacturers.

== == Use

If I ever get to test what their hands on it is always tested by me through their paces. So wandered the little Inateck USB lifted all where his connection fit. How and where, na because times read the next sections.

=== === Tablet

Since the Inateck Hub unfortunately only has a Micro USB port I needed to use my Microsoft Surface an adapter to USB 2.0. But something I had fortunately at hand. And when I pocketed the Hub, the tablet recognized this immediately. So it was now possible to run multiple USB devices on my Surface. This is really beneficial because I'm a Mouse type yet and not quite get along with my fingers alone on the screen, I can thanks to the HB4201 now next to my mouse simultaneously a USB Sick and my portable hard drive on single USB signal my Surface , All devices connected me to the HB4201 were recognized by my surface and could be integrated into the system. Since the stroke is really small it does of course ideal in luggage. He is me surely accompany in my next vacation, because there would always using my Surface large data packets from my Action Cam on my portable hard drive hiking, so come as camera, hard drive and Mouse simultaneously to the surface to quickly and easily sort the data and to move and so to make room for new recordings on the bike or underwater.

=== === Android Phones

It's always annoying, just a Micro USB port owns any cell phone and you can connect to any media such as USB sticks, hard drives or even a cell phone. Even on my phone, a Sony Z1 Compact Inateck Hub has already made its services. The Hub has been recognized by the installed Android OS immediately. Readily now migrated my USB stick and a receiver for a Bluetooth Mouse into the adapter. Both devices were detected immediately by phone. Using the Mouse pointer appeared immediately on the display now I opened a Word file and wrote using an external Bluetooth keyboard even a part of my report here. So do you manage with the little Inateck stroke a clumsy phone with a few simple steps to a purebred small computers to run.

In terms of space, I am with my phone thanks to music and pictures often end up. Using the Inateck stroke but opens up completely different possibilities. So I have my favorite music in many folders sorted on a 32GB USB flash drive to a wide variety of criteria. Can play I now put the stick to the hub, does my phone not only the stick but also in the Player function all folders, so I do not have to create your own playlists only, but separately the contents of each folder. So my phone is now also fast times as players in the party room, or if it will be right back out there hotter, in the large barn used.

Just as my Sony Mobile also the Samsung Galaxy 4 my daughter came as a test object in question. The Samsung phone has connected me to the USB hub. an installation information did not exist, however. Only when I pocketed a USB stick, the phone began to work. The infrared mouse has been connected. Even with this, the Samsung had no problems. even my little WD Ultra Fewstplatte was recognized by the phone. The battery power also presented which turned dei plate. All in all, here too a successful test.

=== === Windows Mobile

My wife has a Nokia phone with Windows operating system. To test the Inateck Hub also really put through its paces, he was also Ratz Fatz there plugged at times. Also, the Windows Smartphone operating system detects the hub as such immediately and can work with mouse and USB stick. Again, the data transmission works smoothly and quickly. With the USB Hub and the Nokia is more versatile.

== Description ==

In terms of description, it looks at Inateck USB Hub from really bad. A description there is not to be just on the packaging are a few technical data and some function instructions. But these are unfortunately all in English. The only multilingual list in the package is where and who to contact in case of problems or out of a warranty issue and how and when to reach someone there a listing.

Since the USB hub but can be connected without any problems to all devices tested by me, nowhere needed an extra driver, the lack of description can not even be regarded as minus one because you need them just do not, everything is explained in the hub of themselves ,

== == Meckerecke

The UDB no stroke of Inateck is already a fine part. Thought it is designed for use on mobile phones or tablets. A small mistake but have made the developers. Not everything fits the Micro USB connector. Often Tablets have become so mature today, the USB Micro connector is missing them and they are already working with USB2.0 or 3.0. Here one can not continue with the Inateck HB4201 and an adapter due, then the resist something unusual is that it is almost as expensive as the USB hub itself. I have already tested a similar adapter from Inateck, the HB4003G. This had a USB2.0 connector to a Austeckadapter to Micro USB. So what would have been desirable in HB4201.

== Conclusion ==

High power of Inateck USB hub HB4201 a really good impression. I must confess to things price that can not be cheaper other manufacturers. In terms of functionality, I can say with a clear conscience, the hub of all the devices has been recognized, could work with any operating system and the data transfer was quick and without any complications. With 4 USB ports can simultaneously operate multiple devices, caution is of course when using a mobile phone, because the battery is in Sausewind all, if he has to, for example, provide a hard drive with power. What the HB4201 is really missing the opportunity to join him in a USB 2.0 socket. Without this connection, the use of tablets of the newer type, such as the Microsoft Surface falls flat before, unless you worried still an adapter to it, but the cost extra. So there is of me in this respect deduction in the evaluation. Even if I can recommend the HB4201 really in good conscience, I need to be reviewed but then deduct a point for the lack of adapters and forgiving 4 of 5 points.
