Product Description
Plugable's USB-C Phone Cube for DeX-Compatible Devices
Meet Plugable’s first phone dock, the Phone Cube (UD-CUBE-15W). Transform your Samsung DeX capable device into a full-fledged desktop system with the mobile Phone Cube that’s smaller than your smartphone itself. With the Phone Cube, drive an external HDMI display, enjoy access to three USB ports for your USB peripherals such as your keyboard and mouse, maintain a gigabit wired Ethernet connection, while keeping your phone charged with 15W of power—all through a single high-speed USB-C connection.
A compatible phone connects to the Phone Cube via an included detachable USB-C cable, rather than being directly affixed onto the docking station. This means that you aren’t limited to navigating through the phone while it’s stuck sitting on a dock. Rather, unlock further potential with your setup by being able to hold and pick up the phone while you utilize your desktop experience to navigate through your favorite apps.
Tiny but Mighty
With dimensions of 2.5in x 2.3in x 1.4in, the Phone Cube is smaller than your Samsung Galaxy smartphone and can save valuable desk space by eliminating clutter. With the Phone Cube, Plugable helps users streamline their work-spaces and become more efficient and productive by getting their ports back in a compact and convenient dock.
Multitask Like Never Before
The Phone Cube connects directly to your smartphone with a detachable USB-C to USB-C cable, rather than being stuck on top of the docking station in a static position. This means you can enjoy a wide array of multitasking abilities, including being able to work through your desktop experience while also replying back to your text messages, or taking a phone call.
This also means that you can use the Phone Cube regardless of your phone case—no matter how bulky and protective your case may be.
A True Desktop Experience
The Phone Cube fulfills the desktop experience by providing the following additional ports:
- 1x USB 3.0 port, for your USB storage drives
- 2x USB 2.0 ports, for your mouse and keyboard
- 1x HDMI, for your monitor
- 1x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, for a wired Internet connection
In the Box
- 1x UD-CUBE-15W Phone Dock
- 1x USB-C to USB-C cable (91cm/36in)
- 1x Power Adapter (20W 5V, 4A, UL 60950-1 certified)
- 1x Quick Start Guide
Supported Resolutions
- The Phone Cube supports resolutions up to 1920x1080 (1080p).
- Please keep in mind that while the Samsung DeX platform currently supports up to 2560x1440 (1440p) resolutions, achieving 1440p is dependent on the monitor.
Compatibility
- The Phone Cube is compatible with Samsung DeX phones and tablets to deliver a desktop-like experience. Compatible devices include:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 9
- Samsung Galaxy S10/S10 Plus/S10e
- Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8*
- Samsung Galaxy S8*/S8 Plus*
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e/Tab S4
- Please note that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, S8, S8 Plus require the Android 9 “Pie” OS installed so DeX may work.
Incompatible Systems and Setups
- The Phone Cube is not compatible with devices that use a micro USB or Lightning connection.
- DisplayPort monitors are not supported.
- The Ethernet port will not work with the Samsung Galaxy S8 series smartphones.
Power and Charging
- The Phone Cube is designed to be either self-powered (with the power adapter) or bus-powered (no power adapter).
- It is recommended to keep the Phone Cube self-powered with the included power adapter, as that allows the connected phone to charge with up to 15W of power.
- Using the Phone Cube bus-powered will use up the connected phone's battery, but is great for on-the-go scenarios such as giving a presentation.

Edit: After a couple of months (and thick layers of black tape over the annoying LED light), I'm upping this product to 5 stars. In my earlier haste I neglected to mention that I'd tried several "cheaper" options with my phone that only worked 1/2 the time on the first try. It usually required disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable quite often to activate DEX. This device does it the first time every time. I recommend to anyone that uses DEX regularly to skip the cheaper options and just go for the sure thing. Especially if you have a smaller Galaxy phone like the 10e which is a lot more fickle when firing up DEX than say the larger Note series.
What I'd like to draw attention to (besides it works great) is the fact that you cannot turn off the blue LED ring that is always on when the power is on. As you can probably tell the minimal thing is where I like to go and this can be distracting. Additionally, this product appears to be the same thing in appearance and specs as another from Plugable entitled "The CUBE" which is $20 less here on Amazon. The other one's product description states "While the Cube does provide 15W of power back to the host system, this is not enough to keep the laptop charged under normal use."
So if I just paid extra for a name I feel a bit short-changed. At the end of the day though I like this product and feel Plugable is a company that makes some great products that I might not have known otherwise if not for this purchase. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a new toy to play with...
* Phone wouldn't charge even with a separate wireless charger.
This item allows a Samsung DEX connection on a TV as well as charging it via one cord. It also allows me to utilize a bluetooth keyboard and connect mouse so that I can utilize it without hovering over my phone. Also with the introduction of game streaming services like game pass bluetooth connections cause some input delay, a wired connection into one of the USB A ports of this cube cuts that down greatly. I am pretty impressed with this thing and glad after a long search that I have found it.
Lost 2 stars because....
It barely maintains battery state of charge. Depending on what you have open or doing, the battery still drains......but slowly. I did not test with the cat5 rj45 connected but one would imagine it will drain more juice from the battery.
The obnoxious bright annoying blue light OMFG, at least offer a switch to turn it off. That might be the reason there is not enough power to charge my phone when plugged into it.
Power adapter port is not the typical USB C which means you are stuck with the weak power pack it comes with. If it were at least USB C, you can get a stronger power source and -Maybe- it would solve the battery drain??
Aesteticaly a good design with the cube. Better design than most. Cat5 is a must for me and the gigabit adapter worked flawlessly.
I was researching for an enterprise solution to use the Dex environment for 100+ users. Unfortunately I must look for and test more products as the flaws takes it out of the running.
