Qualcomm today announced that more than 70 Snapdragon-based smartphones and tablets come with a technology called Quick Charge. Quick Charge 1.0 is a rapid-charging technology that Qualcomm acquired when it bought Summit Microelectronics.
According to Qualcomm, devices with Quick Charge can reach a full charge up to 40% faster than devices that don’t have Quick Charge. The technology is offered by Qualcomm to its hardware partners as an integrated solution with Qualcomm’s power management circuits or a stand-alone USB interface controller.
Some of the devices that have Quick Charge 1.0 already built in include the HTC Droid DNA and 8X, the LG Nexus 4 and Optimus G, the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD, the Nokia Lumia 920, and the Samsung Galaxy S III among many others.
Qualcomm said that it will reveal more details about its fast-charging technology in the coming weeks
