Question how many usb cable or usb key can i end up using simultaneously with S6 lite tablet

[human]

Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite (2024)​

Hi , i hope your are well how are you?

I need a device that can run android 8 or more because of this https://community.victronenergy.com/t/usingvictronconnect-from-a-laptop/12065/27

since all i can find is old ipad stuff at 150 dollar with dubious battery live i tough i might as well get something new with a new funtionnality like hand writing tablet. And that i would aslo use the device as a laptop pc for when i go in a cafe ,

So i discovered that tablets are not generous in usb holes ... i dont like that because i would like to plug in me keyboard mouse , 1usb key 2.0 possibly a another usb for a microphone if that is possible

How can i multiply the usb holes avaialble? is there a hub with 4 usb holes that works?
i guess i would have be able to charge the tablet at the same time.

How can i achieve close to that with the s6 lite ?

or similar device low cost

thanks

I would think a USB hub would meet your needs. One that is externally powered would likely be better as your tablet could not possibly power the multiple devices you mentioned.

Something like this:

hi Cool Geek,

first i really like the never let the cpu win quote hahaha two thumbs up for creativity!

I looked at the link and there is only 1 review.

I typed sabrent 4 usb in amazon and was astonish to see many results.
could you pinpoint the amazon link of the one you talk about and maybe , more importantly let me know wich other device could be working maybe more possiblities like direct ethernet for more fluid performance and other usefull options that I might not think about
Please tell me about it, im noob.

i dont need 4k .on the amazon result page there are many options i have a hard time to understand how i can be usefull like remote control, Some could be usefull! i want to use it as a back up pc for in the cafe.
Maybe a usbc port could be usefull for future samsung phone update? What else?

Before making this post i read about slave and master and i have no idea of the impact or importance of such habilities.

This one was what I suggested earlier:

Adding the features you are now mentioning is more like a full blown docking station.

Do you have a budget limit?

 

[human]

it depends of the features..
i have read on this at the bottom of page , link below Samsung TAB S6 Lite is USB 2.0 with a USB-C connector because Samsung are oooholes@

what does he mean? does he mean that the interface is usbc but at speed of usb 2?
is it true?

Now is black friday still for 3 days or so on amazon i think maybe there are good steals to get.

i guess if i get a device that is kind of futur proof 75 max.

Also if a hub or docking station is connecting with usbc to main device, can the docking still be used with an old pc with only usbA port?

idont intend to use Thunderbolt , usb c will be good for a decade for me i guess.
Idont know exactly what is Dex but it seem very appreciated from a lot of people so if it is Dex compatible excellent too

You will need an appropriate USB adapter to use the hub previously recommended.

That tablet won't drive video via the USB port, so a docking station for a display seems out of bounds.

If that port is USB 2.0, then that is all she'll do. For what you originally wanted to connect, that should not be an issue.

Ok so maybe I should aim for simple solution. is there a powerd hub like you posted but with a rj45 etheret connection possibility?

I suppose you could get an 8-port powered USB hub and then use a USB network adapter.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Ethernet-Network-Compatible-Chromebook/dp/B00484IEJS

You seem to want to connect a bunch of USB devices to a tablet. Why?

Seems this also works with other platforms:

because i want to use it as a pc outside the house and ill use at least a usbA keyboard and mouse and a usbkey for data and possibly connect to ethernet.

I am surprised to see that there exist a usb2.0 converter to ethernet. what kind of speed can i expect from that?
enough to watch youtube without lags?

I would imagine YT will be okay. This system will perform rather poorly overall. Not a lot of horsepower.
