The docking station for the Samsung Galaxy Tab comes as the pictures shown, no more, no less (No data cables, no HDMI, no power adapter etc.). Only the device in a tiny package with a tiny Quick Start Guide. At ports, there is a data connection for charging and data cable of the Galaxy Tab, a 3.5 mm jack (both connections are located behind) and an HDMI connector (Type C, Mini, this is on the side).
Advantages of the device:
- Small and looks quite good and fits the Tab
- To charge the battery now is the tab on the table, before it was somewhere around in socket nearby.
- Heard after the plant to as the MP3 collection, or Internet Radio. (Sure, you can even without, but there remains the battery is charged)
- HDMI port for connection to TV (who needs it, I do not!)
Disadvantages of the device:
- You have to decide if one wants to use the docking station to the PC for data transmission or wants to charge the battery
(The annoying USB cable between the PC and plugging outlet is one so not shake). Here I would have liked a more intelligent solution
presented, for example. an external power supply that supplies the docking station with power and data cable, which is allowed to remain on the PC) or a
Cable which is divided into two parts and can be connected to the PC and the power (both solutions I still know from my organizers)
- The side HDMI port does not like it, put as one cable at the side looks the dock not look good!
(Personal opinion)
- All cables are still required, must be purchased separately (HDMI A to C cable and possibly a 3.5mm jack cable!), The
would be at the price can also place! An extra USB data cable would not have been bad, so you would need the docking station
not permanently re stuck.
- When plugging the PC to the AC adapter, I noticed that the charging process does not start and the tab from the docking station
has to be taken out, only to be reinserted in.
- HDMI output only works when device is dependent on electricity!
Overall, I am rather disappointed. The only advantage is that my Galaxy Tab now has a firm place and when not charging
lying around somewhere in socket nearby and convenient connection of the dock with the system.
So with 2-3 stars is this user-unfriendly and poorly furnished unit at this price quite good away!
