How Quick Charge 2.0 technology works

Quick Charge 2.0 is a technology for charging devices. This was developed by the company Qualcomm and can be applied to smartphones, for example. The charging time is greatly reduced by Quick Charge.

1. The technology does not work with every smartphone. The device must have a processor from Qualcomm and be licensed. Without the paid licensing Quick Charge can not be used.
2. But some Samsung devices are also compatible with Quick Charge - despite the lack of Qualcomm processor. However, this is an exception.
3. With the technology, you can achieve a maximum charging power of 36 watts. With Quick Charge 3.0, it is even possible to charge, for example, the HTC 10 after 30 minutes already to 45 percent.
4. The manufacturer Qualcomm took over the Quick Charge 2.0 technology and developed it further. 2016 wurde anschließend Quick Charge 3.0 und 2017 Quick Charge 4.0 veröffentlicht.
5. Laut Hersteller erreichen Sie bei Version 3.0 einen Akkustand von 80 Prozent in nur 35 Minuten.
6. Die Technologie greift erst, wenn der Akku bereits fast leer ist. Andernfalls ist das Laden über einen herkömmlichen Anschluss sinnvoller.
