Qualcomm’s new Quick Charge 3.0 does 0-80% charge in 35 minutes

Apart from having excellent battery life, charging times for smart phones are equally as important. With most new devices offering Quick Charging, Qualcomm is speeding things up with its newly announced Quick Charge 3.0. This shortens the time required to recharge a mobile device so you can get up and running in no time.

According to Qualcomm, the new Quick Charge 3.0 is up to 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0 and it can do 0 to 80% charge in just 35 minutes. As comparison, OPPO’s VOOC charge does 0-75% in 30 minutes while Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charge on their flagship devices does 0-50% in the same time.

Quick Charge 3.0 is available as an option with their newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, 620, 618, 617 and 430 processors that are expected to be commercially available next year. It is backward compatible with previous Quick Charge supported devices and it supports various USB standards including the latest USB Type-C.

Going down to specifics, Quick Charge 2.0 is able to charge dynamically with 4 voltages – 5V, 9V, 12V and 20V. For the newer Quick Charge 3.0, it is able to charge more optimally beween 3.6V to 20V with 200mV increments. This results lower losses, better efficiency and better thermal performance.
