Quick Charge 4.0 - LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion

Is he saying that V40 is able to be charged to 50% for only 15 minutes? What USB charger brick is capable of such fast QC 4 then?

The phone supports quick charge 4.0 with a different wall charger. Currently the phone includes a 3.0 charger which I read is 25 minutes instead of 15.

Suggest QC 4.0 charger
Which one tested and works with V40?

G7 also supports qc4 but the charge rate is limited, no difference compared to qc3

How is this? This guy says QC 4 in 15 minutes charges to 50% while QC 3.0 it takes 25 minutes to charge to 50%

Yeah I wonder why I can't find any 4.0 chargers on Amazon.....

That's just the theoretical specs
LG throttled to maximum speed, even Razer phone can't charge that fast in real life with QC4

The facts about Quick Charge 4 & the LG V40
I know this is late but it took me months to find a Qualcomm certified QC 4 charger. I have also read the Qualcomm information. This is the way it is:
I have a Verizon LG V40 ThinQ with Android 8.1. I also purchased a Belkin QC 4 charger that is certified by Qualcomm. The LG V40's Snapdragon 845 chip is certified QC 4 usable. Unfortunately, LG neglected to enable that feature when they released the phone. The phone came with a QC 3 charger and that is what it charges at. It takes approximately 1½ hours to charge the phone from 15% to 100% if you use the included charger or a certified QC 4 charger. I know I tried it. When you charge the LG V40, it tells you how long it will take to fully charge it. It says the same time with each charger. I didn't trust the software since I had already purchased a QC 4 charger and had nothing to loose. ( a Qualcomm certified QC 4 charger is backwards compatible with all QC phones. It will charge at the rate the phone allows and not overcharge) The QC 4 charger took the same time as the QC 3 charger. (Within a few minutes) Unfortunately, I doubt that LG will enable the faster charging in the future. I have written to support a number of times and they have no clue to what QC 4 charging is about. The only hope is that the powers that be at LG are keeping them in the dark.

Does Note 4 quick charge 2.0 support Nexus 6?

Nexus 6 support Qualcomm quick charge 2.0.
Can i use the note 4 quick charge 2.0 to charge the nexus 6?
Is it 9V 1.67A, or 12V?
"Giving the Nexus 6 its juice is a non-removable 3,220 mAh battery. Similar to its predecessors, the battery has wireless charging capabilities, and can supposedly regain 6 hours of power after 15 minutes of charging with a specialized Turbo charger that features Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology. We'll detail how these stats actually pan out later on in the review."
Quick Charge is a feature of Qualcomm, the manufacturer of the CPU/SoC for the phone. It is a standard for their hardware so any phone supporting Quick Charge will work with any Quick Charge charger. You want to be sure the charger and the phone are using the same version of Quick Charge (v1 or v2). See https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge for compatible phones and chargers.
I lost my Motorola charger and picked up a Power Partners 30W charger that is listed as compatible and seems to be faster than the Motorola but I didn't do any specific measurements. Typically, I use a Qi (Tylt Vu) changer and don't plug in.
QC 2.0 as mentioned above is a Qualcomm feature. Any certified QC 2.0 charger will work and quick charge your nexus or Note. I don't see he Samsung stock Note 4 charger in Qualcomms site for approved devices but maybe they haven't updated it in a while. It should work just fine. I use a Incipio QC 2.0car charger for when I need s boost on my phone or for road trips. I normally lose battery while using a non QC2.0 car charger running GPS and all of the goodies. In the end any QC 2.0 charger will work on the Nexus 6 which supports QC and you will be fine. They will also work on the Note 4.

Multiport charger with sufficient output to quicly charge the Mate 8

Right now I have a 40W Anker 5-port USB charger which works rather well. That is: for current devices. Each output supplies enough juice to charge the connected device as fast as with it's supplied stock charger.
The Mate 8 however can draw 18W's of power to charge quickly. The Anker does not supply this much, even when only using a single port.
Has anybody seen (and tested/confirmed) a Mate 8 quickcharge-compatible multiport charger yet? I know that there already are some quick/fast charge models out there but I read in numerous reviews that the Mate 8 apparently needs it's own charger to reach the high loads/speeds.
Tested and confirmed that QC 2.0 chargers doesn't work well with out Mate8
Original charger is the best!
indeed, unbeatable 100 min charging time from 9-100%

Yes buddy, it's unbeatable.
While checking on the voltages, I found that QC 3.0 chargers will work.fine with our mate 8. Hence I tested with one Aukey QC 3.0 certified multi charger and it's close enough but still 15min late then original Huawei charger
I've noticed that the huawei charger ramps up to 9 volts right away when charging and the QC 3.0 starts off a 5 volts. This is all at about 84% on the phone. What after market charger is this aggressive that I can purchase in the US??

To experience full charging speed, you have to find chargers that support Huawei's Fast Charging Protocal (FCP). Merely having a charger that can output 9V2A is not enough. Chargers that support FCP will also be compatible with Qualcomm quickcharge, but not necessarily vise versa.

Post your charging time (5v2A, QC3, QC4)

I ordered an A2 and a QC 3 wall charger, I'm considering also a car charger, but seems not that needed.
Please tellme... About your Chargint times (Half/Full) on basic wall 5V2A Chager, and QuickCharge 3.0/4.0 chargers, also on car chargers as well
Also, Does anyone tried an iPad charger?
On QC 2.0/3.0 ? form 10% to 100% - around 1h 10m ( not sure abot QC version but was fast charging icon )
I was measuring charging time with stock charger, here are my results:
Greetings everyone,
I have charged my phone with stock charger that came with it, by the way I have global version. 5V=2A)
After a 30 minutes my phone was at 54% i was surprised with percentage!
After an hour I had 92% of battery charged.
Battery fully charged at 1:13.
I want to ask, how fast would battery charge if I use QC v4.0?
Thank you in advance,
DarkoMiA2, :fingers-crossed: Bosnia
Got mine today. I don't have any qc. But have mi power bank which have qc 3.0 capability. I am using but phone doesn't show any quick charge indicator. Is it normal?
I can't find the link to buy a QC 4 charger(I'm from India). I can't find anyone who has actually used snd tested the device with QC 4 either.

As of now there are no QC 4.0 charger in market... It'll take couple of months before they get on shelves for sales.. Till then use QC 3.0 or stock charger.
PS, or you can buy mi 3i power bank, it has QC 3.0 capabilites and when QC 4.0 chargers hit the market you can buy one of those too..so then you will have a power bank and a QC 4.0 charger...

I actually can't find a link for mi 3i power bank or qc 3.0 wall charger either
BTW, Do you have any idea about the charging % that we can expect out of qc 4.0 in future?

For qc 3.0 wall charger https://www.flipkart.com/syska-qual...STACCEWVGWSNPZFFXWIGNAZQ&marketplace=FLIPKART
MI 2i power bank
Correction it's 2i actually... Mi 10000mAH Li-Polymer Power Bank 2i (Black) https://www.amazon.in/dp/B077RV8CCY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fFIGBbWDW603N
About qc 4.0 improvement, no idea as there is no charger as of now even in international market..
Edit : quick tip, never but cheap 3.0 chargers found on Amazon (quantum zero, geekzone.. etc)

How do we choose a USB C cable that takes advantage of Mi 8's Quick Charge?

Since we have QC 4.0, how do we make sure that the USB Type-C cables we buy will maximize the fast charging feature?
I'm looking to pair it with a right wall charger inspired by this other thread (i.e. a wall charger that truly supports QC 4.0 since the one in the box supposedly is just QC 3.0 certified).
I'm finding it difficult to find QC-certified cables, let alone ones that say they specifically support QC 4.0.
Any tips on what specs to look out for?
Look out for type c cables that support power delivery, those an handle the high wattage for qc 4.0. If you want fast charging speeds, looking out for chargers capable of outputting 30 watts. i.e 3amps x9v= 27w
Nah I think you should wait for xiaomi to release a QC 4 charger & cable. Because USBPD is still a mess.
Some interesting charts you can see in here https://www.androidauthority.com/state-of-usb-type-c-870996/
As you can see same phone charged different speed when they use different chargers & different cables. (or same charger with different cables)
Mi 8 won't be different, so want for xiaomi to release a QC 4 charger & a cable to take advantage of the QC 4 / 4+ technology.
I went ahead and got a Tronsmart W3PTA. Really pleased so far!
It supports QC 3.0 (nothing faster than the stock charger I know)... But the main value for me is having a total of 3 USB ports and the right socket without needing an adapter ?
Not sure how much I'd gain out of QC 4.0... but considering price, availability, and potential heat issues; I reckon this is the right choice for now.

AndroidAuthority articles are bull****. Don't trust those bias reviewers.

33W Charger

Are there any other devices with the same power output? I have various Oneplus chargers, and a couple of Quick charge 3.0, but would like a spare fast charger.

You can buy the xiaomi 27W QC4 charger it does 27-35W
realme x2 pro has 50W, so something there shud fit
I've tried various chargers but the SOC was >85% so it wasn't a proper test. With most charger (QC or PD) I've gotten 15W, including with my 65W PD laptop charger. With the original charger I got 20-22W. If it's important to check the power, I can wait until it's discharged and redo the tests, which I plan to do anyway.
For travelling, I find it a lot more useful to have the 36W (18W QC + 18W PD?) cheap Amazon charger with 2xUSB-A and 1xUSB-C, which has the same size as the original charger: https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B07WFDTJFR/
Let us know how you get on. I tried my Samsung 25w charger, Pixel 3 charger and the Motorola 18w charger. All of them charge at 12-18w only. Stock charger goes to around 27w
I've now tried all the chargers and powerbanks that I have, QC3 or PD. All of them cap out at 16W, even though they can deliver more. I got the original one to charge with 30W (at 60% SOC).
The original charger is marked QC3 but they are probably not following the standard.
From my understanding the Snapdragon 732g has Quick Charge 4+ support doesn't it ?

Yes, i've noticed the same. Around 27w max. Today i was charging my phone and observing the batt temperature. Kinda obvious, but the hotter the battery gets, the lower charging power it will deliver. Here in Brazil the temp this week is being around 36-42°C, so i put the phone over a bar of artificial ice. As the batt temp went under 35°C, the resultant "charging current" went to around 5500-6000mA. Doing the math, it was possible to arrive at the 27w result. (~4,5V x 6 = 27w).
When the batt temp was near 38~39°C, charging was down to 2000-2800mA (resulting to around 10-12w).
I also found something strange, it wasn't able to show the charging percentage with 2 decimals, as shown in this video:

For me GAN 65W chargers (Baseus) are good and universal quick chargers.
I have made a quick test in the thread Chargers and Charging speed
