i have been using my galaxy tab 7 with a monitor, the monitor does charge the tablet but not fast enough so can i get a cable that will charge the tablet and still allow me to use the monitor, just one usb c port on the tablet so i am struggling a bit.

thank you

I tried a splitter cable that was supposed to let me charge the device and use a monitor or whatever but it didn't work. The reviews suggested I was far from alone. A USB hub with PD in and HDMI & DP out from someone like Anker might be worth investigating but I don't know if any of them work with Android.

Just got round to trying an Anker A8346 7-in-1 Hub with my Tab S6 and it gave me HDMI while charging the S6. I was also able to read an SD card using Samsung My Files. This particular hub only has HDMI so you'll need to look at a different one if you need DP.
