Quick Charge 3.0 boasts a 38% efficiency improvement over the previous generation, with a fast charging speed of up to 27%, while helping to protect the battery life cycle.

According to Qualcomm, Quick Charge 3.0 uses the "Intelligent Negotiation for Optimal Voltage (INOV) algorithm for the first time, which can achieve optimal power transmission at any time and maximize efficiency.

It is understood that Quick Charge 3.0 can charge a typical mobile phone from zero to 80% in about 35 minutes, while traditional mobile terminals without Quick Charge typically take about an hour and a half. Compared to two generations of products:

1. Increase fast charging speed by up to 27% or reduce power consumption by up to 45% compared to Quick Charge 2.0.

2. 2x faster charging speed than Quick Charge 1.0.

In terms of charging voltage, Quick Charge 2.0 provides four charging voltages of 5V, 9V, 12V, and 20V, while Quick Charge 3.0 provides a flexible selection of voltages from 3.6V to 20V in 200mV increments. This will allow the phone to obtain the right voltage to achieve the expected charging current, thereby minimizing power loss, improving charging efficiency, and improving thermal performance.

In addition, Quick Charge 3.0 is forward and backward compatible with previous versions of Quick Charge and chargers (including USB Type-C), and has the same ultra-fast charging speed and independent circuitry, providing OEMs with more flexible options, as well as UL certification to help meet quality and safety standards.

The first processors to support Quick Charge 3.0 technology include Snapdragon 820, Snapdragon 620, Snapdragon 618, Snapdragon 617, and Snapdragon 430. The terminal is expected to be available next year. Moreover, mobile power supplies with QC3.0 fast charging technology will soon be available.

Qualcomm QC3.0 has also brought many improvements: enhanced flexibility based on QC2.0, especially in terms of charging options. QC2.0 provides four charging voltages of 5V, 9V, 12V, and 20V, while QC3.0 provides a flexible selection of voltages from 3.6V to 20V in 200mV increments. This will allow the phone to obtain the right voltage to achieve the expected charging current, thereby minimizing power loss, improving charging efficiency, and improving thermal performance.

QC3.0 has also been upgraded on the authentication icon, with the addition of the Arabic numeral 3 in the upper right corner.
