What is Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0?

Well,if you've been following Qualcomm chipsets,they mostly come with a certain type of enhanced charging that enables the phone charge much faster than regular phones without that tech. Think of this chart:

• Quick Charge 1: 0 to 30% battery charge in 30 minutes.
• Quick Charge 2: 0 to 60% battery charge in 30 minutes.
• Quick Charge 3: 0 to 80% battery charge in 30 minutes.
• Quick Charge 4: 0 to 50% battery charge in 15 minutes.

Now,from the chart,you can see that the charging times reduce while the amount of charge increase. And you're wondering,"why not just,say,80% in 15minutes?" I'll explain.

First,the battery of the phone needs to be made of some special material (unlike the regular Li-Ion or Li-Po batteries) that can withstand the current being pumped into the phone. That is why.

These new enhancements include Dual Charge, Intelligent Thermal Balancing, and Advanced Safety Features.

Now that QuickCharge 4.0 is here what makes it different from the rest?

All these enhancements mean that your smartphone has greater protection against overheating and electrical damage while charging and will theoretically charge up to 15% faster or 30% more efficiently than Quick Charge 4.

Now that you know,also note that no ordinary charger can perform this magic. You need a QuickCharge 4.0 compatible charger.

Both smartphones and chargers that meet Qualcomm’s standards will carry the Quick Charge 4+ label and enjoy these benefits. Specified charges will be backwards compatible and work with devices that have Quick Charge 2 and 3 (such chargers will charge them at their respective quick charge speeds)
