Qualcomm Quick Charge, a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., is the next generation of fast charging technology for smartphones, tablets and larger mobile computing devices like slim notebooks. Available today in a wide range of devices, including over 70 that are based on Snapdragon™ processors, Qualcomm Quick Charge is leading the advancement of smartphone battery management.
Charges up to 75% faster than conventional technology. Less charge time means more time being truly mobile.
Designed to enable backward/forward compatibility and interoperability enables true universal charging. No need to replace existing power cords or adapters.
Engineered with advanced safety and reliability features.
While Quick Charge 1.0 rests in the devices only, Quick Charge 2.0 resides in both the device, offered as a standalone IC solution or as part of the PMIC (power management integrated circuit) of Snapdragon™ 800 processors, and in the AC/DC wall charger.

What if you could charge your mobile device battery up to 75% more quickly? With the Qualcomm Quick Charge comprehensive suite of battery management technologies, you can. Spend less time charging and more time doing.
Here at Qualcomm, we often talk about all the ways Snapdragon processors can help your phone or tablet have better battery life, but there's more that we're doing to minimize the amount of time you spend charging your device.
You can’t go mobile if you’re stuck plugged into an outlet waiting for your smartphone or tablet to charge. Last year, over 70 devices launched with Qualcomm Quick Charge 1.0, an in-device solution that enables smartphones and tablets to charge up to 40% faster. Today we’re introducing the next generation.
Is your new phone charging much faster than your old one? It’s not your imagination, it’s by design. Your new phone or tablet could have new Qualcomm technology that speeds up charging so you can pick up your mobile device and go.
