Qualcomm has revealed that 70 smartphones and tablets with Qualcomm chipsets inside them include a new technology called Quick Charge 1.0. It allows the smartphone batteries to charge much faster than normally.
Qualcomm states that normally a smartphone battery might take more than four hours to charge fully, but thanks to Quick Charge 1.0, the same smartphone battery can be charged in much less time. Surprisingly, this is the first time we are hearing about this rapid charging technology, although phone with it have been available in the market for last many months.
“A phone with Qualcomm Quick Charge 1.0 can charge up to 40% faster than older phones. A phone without Quick Charge 1.0 could be stuck plugged in charging for more than four hours. With Quick Charge 1.0, the same phone can reach its full charge in three hours or less. The less time you spend charging your mobile device, the more time you get to use it; your mobile device becomes truly mobile,” Qualcomm noted in a blog post.
The company also revealed the Qualcomm Quick Charge need no change at charger end and can work with existing wall chargers, USB cables etc. as it is offered as an integrated circuit that is built into a smartphone or tablet and interfaces to the usual USB connector.
