In the race of making laptops lighter and thinner, most brands only offer just USB C ports, and as a result, it limits physical connectivity and capability. A solution to this problem is to employ the usage of a hub. In this latest episode of the AndroidGuys podcast Scott Webster and Luke Gaul talk about the EZQuest USB-C Multimedia 8-in-1 hub.Hubs like EZQuest USB-C Multimedia 8-in-1 hub offer some basic connectivity options you need in a laptop. The portable and very lightweight hub has eight different ports including 2x USB A ports, 1x HDMI port, 1xEthernet port, 2x USB C ports, 1x SD card slot, and 1x microSD card slot. How does it work? is it worth purchasing?

The extra USB ports and HDMI ports make it easy for me to work on a multi-screen setup with access to a printer and external hard drive.I like that I can toss this in my bag quickly and not worry about the cord breaking down anytime soon.

Review: Lookstand + Mount (Podcast)


In this latest episode of the AndroidGuys podcast, our experts Scott Webster and Luke Gaul talk about the Lookstand + Mount portable phone stand.The Lookstand + Mount is a very transformative and useful phone stand that offers a solid extendable aluminum build (which makes it lightweight and durable), 360° of rotation, 120° of viewing angle, and wireless charging compatibility.The phone stand has three presets heights from 3.5 inches to 7 inches which let you adjust the stand height according to your need. Is it worth purchasing? Listen to the podcast and see what our team says.What is the Lookstand + MountThe Lookstand is an aluminum smartphone accessory that adheres to the back of handsets and provides a number of options to users. Open it up and you can extend the arm to take selfies, or flip the bottom and widen the legs to make a portable stand. It folds up flat, weighs next to nothing, and travels very well.Available in five different colors, the unit is flexible and functional. It rotates 360-degrees with a head that can be adjusted 120-degrees, making it a perfect desktop or travel companion.GalleryFeaturesConstructed of aluminumThree preset heights from 3.5-inches to 7-inches360-degree rotation120-degree viewing angleDetachable mount for wireless chargingAvailable in black, gray, gold, blue, and redTested to 10,000 usesListen to the EpisodeBe sure to subscribe to the AndroidGuys podcast through your favorite platform or add the AndroidGuys Podcast RSS feed to enjoy!Google PodcastsiTunesSpotifyAmazon MusicTuneInParting ThoughtsA generally solid product, I like this accessory for folks who like to take in video while on the go. It can be adjusted to a number of heights and offers a wide array of angles so catching Netflix on the plane is nice and easy.Our review unit shows no signs of wearing down anytime soon, but we like that there’s an extra adhesive included in the box. Wireless charging can be accomplished when you remove the main component, but not without a bit of trial and error. Otherwise, this doesn’t add much weight or thickness. After a day or two of being attached you’ll hardly notice it’s there.Where to buy the Lookstand + MountLookstand + Mount starts at $45 and comes in black, gray, gold, blue, and red color options. The phone stand is available for purchase through the manufacturer’s website.
