Qualcomm introduces the next generation of Quick Charge 5 Plus charging technology for charging at over 100W. It combines the speed of previous versions with cooler, more stable charging and smarter, more efficient power delivery for computing devices.
Quich Charge 5 Plus technology adapts voltage and current to the needs of the device, using lower voltage at higher currents, up to 20V at 7A and 140W of power to minimize heat generation.
For users, this will provide a stable maximum charging speed without throttling and longer battery life due to reduced thermal load.
Qualcomm says that Quick Charge 5 Plus not only provides fast charging, but also optimizes the power consumption of devices. Through intelligent detection of the connected device and dynamic control of power delivery, charging performance remains stable.
On top of that, Quick Charge 5 Plus will work on future devices as well as be backward compatible with previous versions of Quick Charge 2.0, 3.0, 3.0+, 4.0, 4.0+, 5.
The new technology is expected to start rolling out to accessories later this year, and the first time Quick Charge 5 Plus will be seen on devices unveiled at the Snapdargon Summit 5. In addition, the new technology will work with devices that do not use the Snapdragon platform.
By the way, Qualcomm is not the first to use lower voltage. For example, OnePlus/OPPO also offers a similar solution with their SuperVOOC technology. It can provide charging power of 120 W at 11 V / 11 A, or 80 W at 11 V / 7.3 A. However, due to Qualcomm's scale and the wide compatibility of Quick Charge with USB-PPS, the appearance of this feature has special weight.
