But, what is quick charge, and how to know if my charger and my mobile phone have it<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This is something that you should know before you end up in a similar situation so that you take care of your mobile phone\u2019s battery and avoid being unable to communicate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Below, you\u2019ll find everything you\u2019ll need to know if your mobile phone has quick charge<\/strong>, and which is the appropriate charger to take care of your battery<\/strong> and make the battery\u2019s life last longer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

What is quick charge?<\/h2>\n

Even though the term quick charge<\/em> seems to have a quite obvious definition, it is important to understand the technical term, and what makes it possible for modern mobile phones to have this functionality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This is a technology that charges our mobile phones in less time than traditional chargers do<\/strong>, and it\u2019s not something that relies only on the charger used, which needs to meet some technical specifications from the phone\u2019s manufacturer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Quick charge also depends on the fact that the phone must be compatible with the charger, because, otherwise, the quick charge won\u2019t reach the battery. Also, you run the risk of breaking down the battery from using it inappropriately.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What are the units of measure of the chargers and batteries?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

To measure the current or electron flow, two concepts are used: volts<\/a> and amps<\/a>. Volts refer to electric potential, and amps refer to the quantity of electrons provided.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There are many types of quick chargers. The most commonly known quick charger is the one that provides more voltage and amps than a conventional charger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A standard charger<\/strong> provides 5 volts and 2.1 amps<\/em>, while a quick charge one can send between 9 and 12 volts<\/em>, and the amp measure could reach up to three.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In practical terms, and depending on the brand of the charger, this could equal to a 50% charge of the battery in 10 minutes<\/strong>, depending on the technology of the brand.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"cargador<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Some manufacturers offer a 100% charge in 20 minutes<\/strong>, which is incredible when compared to the time that it takes a normal charger, which, on average, could take up to one hour to fully charge a battery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How quick charge works<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The batteries are made out of two chemical compounds that, when combined, generate the electricity needed to make the phone work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When the battery is connected to the electrical current, a reverse procedure is generated that allows the battery to store energy to be used later.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What a quick charger does is to provide energy with more power than a standard charger to reduce the time that the process takes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For obvious reasons, this means that the unit of measure of the quick charger is higher than that of a common charger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How to know if my charger and my mobile phone have quick charge?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Even though most quick chargers<\/strong> have a unique logo that shows compatibility with this type of charge, it is well known that, as it tends to happen with technology, there are a wide variety of imitation devices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In other words, don\u2019t be fooled, and don\u2019t rely on just one source to check whether a device has quick charge.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This information is found on the bottom part of the charger, or on the battery\u2019s label<\/em>. It is also found on the phone\u2019s manual.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll have the manual on hand since most of us assume that we know how to use a smartphone, and that we don\u2019t need to have the manual with us wherever we go.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry. If the information is impossible to read on the charger\u2019s label, or if you don\u2019t have the manual on hand, you can look it up on the internet by typing the brand and the model.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Once you find the official source of the information, you need to verify the voltage and amperage. By law, this information should be visible on the charger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Important information<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

The charge numbers on standard devices are of 5 volts and one or 1.5 amps. If you notice any higher numbers, this means that your charger and your mobile phone have the quick charge technology.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If, for instance, the specifications state that the device has 9V and 2A, it is highly likely that your device has quick charge.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As for how to check whether your mobile phone is compatible with quick charge, access the Android\u2019s settings section, then, select \u201cAbout – Battery,\u201d to check the battery\u2019s specifications.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It is also possible to find this information on the back side of the mobile phone or on the manual, depending on the brand and the model of the phone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The numbers are easy to check. Just look at the voltage and amperage that your mobile phone supports, and then check the charger to see the voltage and amperage that it provides. Both of these pair values should be the same.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It is possible that you find modern chargers that automatically scan the mobile phone\u2019s configuration to adjust the charge to the correct values. This way, they protect your phone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We once again insist that you shouldn\u2019t trust in cheap chargers that supposedly have quick charge, which end up not having the capacity of detecting the mobile phone\u2019s configuration to provide the correct amount of charge, and could end up damaging the battery.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the following sections we will explain to you the different types of quick chargers that you can find on the market, as well as their features.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What are the types of quick chargers?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

With the need of being able to quickly charge the batteries of mobile phones, many alternatives from different manufacturers have appeared, which offer a solution in the least amount of time possible.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Even though there are general standards on the market, manufacturers tend to make alliances with phone brands to make their technologies compatible with their phones.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Some phone brands have opted for creating their own quick charge technology due to issues regarding exclusivity and marketing positioning.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Some of the most famous quick chargers on the market are those from Qualcomm, Samsung, Huawei, Apple, OPPO, OnePlus, and MediaTek<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As we have previously mentioned, each one have their own proposal and technology to solve the need for quick charge.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
