Video from Qualcomm shows you how much faster Quick Charge 2.0 fuels your battery

To show how much faster its Quick Charge 2.0 technology recharges a smartphone battery, Qualcomm shot a video starring a trio of Nexus 6handsets. Each one was having its 3200mAh battery charged from 0%. The first Nexus 6 on the left was using a conventional charger running at 5Volts/1 Amp. The second unit employed a conventional charger running at 5Volts/2 Amps. The third Nexus 6 was using Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0. which uses as much as 3 Amps.

As the video shows, the Nexus 6 that used the Quick Charge 2.0 was able to charge up to 50% in 40 minutes. At the same 40 minute mark, the 2 Amp charger was able to recharge the battery to 32%, and the 1 amp charger was 22% refueled. For Quick Charge 2.0 to work, you need to have a phone compatible with the technology, and a charger powerful enough to put out the required current.

The Quick Charge 2.0 technology is included in certain Snapdragon chipsets. Faster recharging of smartphones has become a selling point for some models. Recharge the Motorola DROID Turbo for 15 minutes and you'll have enough battery life to last 8 hours. The Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge both also offer quick recharging. It's a great feature for the severely smartphone addicted who see their life flash in front of their eyes whenever they have less than 10% battery life remaining.

Right now, there are 13 Android handsets that are compatible with Quick Charge 2.0. including the Motorola DROID Turbo
Nexus 6
 Samsung Galaxy Note Edge 
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
HTC Desire EYE
Second-gen Motorola Moto X
