The charging horizon has changed the past few years, thanks to the introduction of fast-charging and wireless technologies. One of the more popular today is the Qualcomm Quick Charge which has been used for several devices since the 1.0 version was released two year-ago. Quick Charge 2.0 soon followed the next year and it has greatly improved battery charging time by 75%.
The next version, Quick Charge 3.0, is the fastest and most efficient way to charge batteries of the latest mobile devices. It charges the phone faster–38 percent faster than Quick Charge 2.0 and about twice as fast as Quick Charge 1.0. Fast charging time only means you can be more productive and can easily move when you need to.
Quick Charge 3.0 now takes advantage of Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage (INOV) algorithm. This helps the phone determine the power level you need to maximize efficiency and productivity all the time. Quick Charge 3.0 can actually target different power levels and voltage ranges and options. It will feature support for USB Type-A, USB micro, USB Type-C, or proprietary connectors and will be 100 percent backward-compatible with Quick Charge 1.0 and Quick Charge 2.0 devices as described by Qualcomm.
Qualcomm will feature this new fast-charging tech in the recently announced Snapdragon 617 and Snapdragon 430 processors, as well as, the 820, 620, and 618 chipsets. According to the chipmaker, it will boast of the same ‘easy-to-implement design for OEMs’ so more companies will be able to use and benefit from the technology.
