Qualcomm releases list of Quick Charge 3.0-compatible devices

There are different fast charging technologies out on the market. One of the more well-known ones is Qualcomm's Quick Charge. Now out with version 3.0, there aren't that too many devices yet that support it. But just so you know which ones do, Qualcomm released the list of Quick Charge 3.0-compatible smartphones. These include the LG G5, HTC One A9, HTC 10, HP Elite X3, Xiaomi Mi 5, General Mobile GM 5+, and LeTV MAX Pro. Of course, for quick charge to work, you'll need a certified Quick Charge 3.0 power adapter for it. Quick Charge 3.0 is said to charge devices 38 percent faster than Quick Charge 2.0 and twice as fast as version 1.0.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge only come with Quick Charge 2.0 support

In case you were looking for Qualcomm’s latest charging tech included in the new Samsung Galaxy devices, unfortunately, you won’t be getting it this time around. Unlike the LG G5 that has Quick Charge 3.0 support, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are still sporting Quick Charge 2.0. This is because Samsung makes use of two different processors for their devices and these don’t have the same charging capabilities. While the Snapdragon 820 processor supports the next-gen charging tech, Samsung’s own Exynos 8 processor doesn’t. For consistency, Samsung opted to keep the same Quick Charge 2.0 speed. But this isn’t particularly a slouch either. You can still get a good chunk of your battery back in 15 minutes if you use the right accessory.
