Recently, we have heard too much about new fast-charging technologies coming our way from various smartphone makers such as VIVO, OPPO, and Xiaomi. But we should remember that first fast charging technology came our way from Qualcomm, a chip-making company based in the US. Today, this company announced a new fast-charging technology called Qualcomm Quick Charging 5 (QC 5). Qualcomm claims that this new standard will charge a 4500mAh battery from 0 to 50% in 5 minutes, and to 100% in 15 minutes.

As said at the beginning of the article, many smartphone manufacturers have announced new fast-charging technologies. But they are either in the concept stage or will be limited to a few phones of the brand. Earlier this month, OPPO launched 125W SuperVOOC charging technology; VIVO announced a 120W fast charging solution; and Xiaomi’s 120W charger has also been certified in China. So in this sense, Qualcomm’s new charging solution is expected to cover more users.
