Micro USB OTG to Ethernet Adapter with Powered… vs Moread HDMI to VGA — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

Micro USB OTG to Ethernet Adapter with Powered… is our pick.

For Raspberry Pi Zero owners and anyone with an older single-port streaming stick, the Smays adapter is the better buy in 2026: one micro-USB OTG port gives you a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet jack and three USB 2.0 ports, which fixes the Zero's biggest limits. The Moread HDMI to VGA 2-pack only wins if your problem is a VGA-only monitor or projector, and it cannot plug into a Pi Zero's mini-HDMI port without another adapter.

Buy the Smays Micro USB OTG to Ethernet Adapter with Powered Hub if you run a Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W, an older micro-USB Chromecast or Fire TV Stick, or an Android 6.0+ tablet that needs a stable wired connection and room for a keyboard, mouse and flash drive. Buy the Moread HDMI to VGA 2-pack if you need to drive a VGA-only monitor or conference-room projector at up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz from a laptop, Chromebook, NUC, full-size-HDMI Raspberry Pi or console, and you want a spare in the bag.
