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,dock,cube

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.

Ports on the back of the USB-C Phone Cube Docking Station

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.

Works for some things, marketing not super clear, limitations exist.

Works for some things, marketing not super clear, limitations exist.
I will just start off by saying I have many devices and I like to use them in many different ways. Therefore I've been testing many different docks, dongles, adapters, etc over the past months....I was excited to test this "hub" to see if I could really turn my phone "into a desktop", even though I don't have a samsung phone (I have a LG G8) it does support video output, keyboards, etc.So I went along and set this thing up to test it out... limitations ensue.Pros- Single cable to connect device to phone, computer, tablet, etc- Does support ethernet, USB 3.0, USB2.0, etc- 1080p 60hz over HDMI worked out of the box (didn't try 4k as this desk doesn't have any 4k screens on it)- Worked on Android, Linux, ChromeOS out of the box.- Keeps your device charged (more on that in a minute)- Supports dock display as main display; this is when you have a laptop connected and you close the laptop. The dock becomes the main display so its like using it as a desktop. (I am actually using it that way right now as I write this review).- Has its own adapter so you don't need to buy an adapter to power it.- Gigabit Ethernet- Can run off direct power from laptop / tablet / phone if not using the included adapter.- All relative ports are in the back.Cons- Instructions say nothing about specs of device.- Included cable is somewhat short; if you wish to extend it then you need a thunderbolt certified cable (these are thicker and more expensive) to be able to actually use this dock. I happen to have a Thunderbolt extension cable and that did also work (the right angle plugged into the front in my pics is actually the extension cable, not the cable that comes with the dock).- No idea the charging speed of the dock; plugging it into a chromebook says "slow charger connected, device may not charge while in use". However its enough to "keep it charged" while it is closed and I am using it. My phone doesn't say slow or fast charging so Its not QuickCharge certified for sure.- Only 4k30hz support; which is mostly just useless. I don't think anyone runs any display at 30hz as it looks laggy for everything you will want to use it for.- Blue light seems to be on all the time if using the included charger.- Can't seem to force phone orientation, must manually rotate phone physically to use monitor properly.This little box works as intended; however it doesn't turn your phone into a desktop. This would only happen if you have a Samsung Dex device and you have it configured properly with Dex. Even then Dex has its limitations and really functions like a beta product most of the time. If you don't have a Samsung phone (like me) then the functionality will be really hit and miss.This is a crowded market now for all these little docks; this one is actually more expensive than many other docks with similar features. I suppose the aesthetic is what they are trying to up-sell here; have a clean design on your desk because the ports are all in the back.I think that the best use for this dock is with a laptop or something like a surface tablet (something with a real OS) as these "mobile OS as a desktop" things are just not there yet. The experience is really hit and miss depending on what device / configuration you have.I will be using this device on a semi-regular basis now that I finally got it setup since I have different laptops that support this dock and its better for me to use a real keyboard and mouse.If this review helped you at all; please mark it helpful! Thanks!
