Qualcomm's little known Quick Charge is in most Snapdragon devices
Chip designer Qualcomm talked up its Quick Charge 1.0 today, a "little known" technology that helps devices charge up to 40 percent faster than those without it.
For reasons unknown, Qualcomm left it until now to promote the technology, despite having developed and integrated it quite a while ago in Snapdragon powered devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S3, the HTC 8X, the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Google Nexus 4 built by LG.
"Last week at HTC's Frequencies event, our chief marketing officer, Anand Chandrasekher spoke with bloggers about a little known Qualcomm technology which is designed to dramatically decrease the time it takes to charge the battery in a mobile device," the firm said in a blog post today. "We call this rapid charging technology 'Quick Charge 1.0'."
