Quick Charge 5.0 can support a fast charge of 32 W, a 15 Watt wireless charge

Qualcomm's next-generation charging technology will call Quick Charge 5.0, which will support 32-watt wireless charging and 15-watt wireless charging and will likely be available on the upcoming Snapdragon 855 chipset.

Quick Charge is a fast charging technology from Qualcomm and, at the moment, QC 4+ technology is available on smartphone models using Snapdragon 660, Snapdragon 670, Snapdragon 710 and Snapdragon 845 smartphones. 4G / 5G from Qualcomm, which is currently developing the Quick Charge 5.0 charging technology, has a maximum capacity of 32W.

The latest version of Quick Charge is now QC 4+ and supports the 18W Fast Charger. Competing technologies such as Huawei's SuperCharge have a charging capacity of up to 40W, OPPO's Super VOOC technology supports up to 50W, and Meizu's mCharge technology allows charging up to 55W. According to Qualcomm, the company's next-generation rechargeable technology will support up to 32W of charge and 15W of wireless charge. This technology will probably be called Quick Charge 5.0.

Quick Charge 4+ currently provides a fast charge system by dividing into two power lines instead of one as before. This will help prevent the phone from overheating when charging quickly. In addition, QC 4+ charging technology also keeps the device at a temperature below 3 degrees Celsius during charging. It is 15% faster and 30% more energy efficient than its predecessor. Quick Charge 5.0 is similar, allowing the phone to support a fast 32 Watt load without heat and should offer more features than QC 4+.

According to some badumptions, Quick Charge 5.0 will be available on the Snapdragon 855 (or Snapdragon 8150), which should be available later this year. It is not clear if this chip will be a 7nm SoC and will compete directly with other 7nm SoCs such as Apple A12 or Huawei's Kirin 980.
