Technology to help charge 5 minutes smartphone with enough battery for 5 hours

Qualcomm has just announced its latest fast-charging technology, called Quick Charge 4.0, which enables smartphones that only need 5 minutes of charge to get enough battery life for up to 5 hours.

Qualcomm claims the latest version of the fast charging technology will help charge mobile devices 20% faster and 30% more efficient than the previous generation, which is being used for a small number of phone models. flagship running Android operating system. This new technology will therefore help a medium-sized smartphone, with a 2,750mAh battery fully charged for 5 hours after just 5 minutes of charging, or the battery will be 50% full after 15 minutes of charging.

This new technology is compatible with devices using USB-C and USB Power Delivery standards.

More importantly, according to Qualcomm, the new technology is also compatible with devices that use USB-C and USB Power Delivery ( USB transmission technology) developed by Google and the USB calibration agency.

For many, this is not a major breakthrough, but information about it comes just a week after Google warned manufacturers not to use proprietary charging technology ("Vbus") but devices. equipped with Quick Charge currently in use, due to safety and compatibility concerns.

According to Qualcomm, with Quick Charge 4.0, users can charge faster with more cables while minimizing the risk of causing the machine to fall into flammable conditions like Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The company revealed, the new technology will only Supported on devices using Snapdragon processors. Therefore, we still have to wait to see if Qualcomm's statements are correct.

New technology will only be supported in devices using Snapdragon processors.

Quick Charge technology update comes with the latest flagship product in the company's popular Snapdragon mobile line - Snapdragon 835. Although Qualcomm has not yet revealed exactly what is inside the processor. Next generation, but the company confirmed it is shaking hands with Samsung to produce Snapdragon 835 and they will use the 10nm FinFET process of the Korean tech giant.

That means, the Snapdragon 835 will be smaller than the predecessor Snapdragon 820 and 821, which are 14nm in size, while increasing performance. Qualcomm said the slimmer size will help manufacturers build thinner mobile devices or more space to equip bigger batteries. The Snapdragon 835 is expected to appear in more advanced smartphones in the first half of 2017.
