On February 21, LG announced the new LG G5 smartphone, but they did not reveal an exact release date. And while we know most pre-orders will start around March 18, so soon, the release date is unknown. However, buyers will want to have cases, accessories, extra chargers and more in time for the LG G5 release date.

Quick Charge, Turbo Charge or Quick Charge are names used by manufacturers. With battery sizes not getting too big without making a phone bulky, new ways to charge our smartphone faster have emerged. Basically, it allows the battery to turbocharge extremely quickly when it’s nearly exhausted. Many phones had it last year, but the LG G5 has the latest Quick Charge 3.0, which we’ll explain below. Read on for more details and great chargers worth buying.

a new technology Announced a few years ago, the so-called “Qualcomm Quick Charge” allows smartphones to charge faster than ever before. The powerful new Quad-core Snapdragon 820 inside the LG G5 has the latest Quick Charge 3.0 which can charge the phone from 0-80% in just 30-35 minutes. This is 40% faster than Quick Charge 2.0 found on the LG G4 or the new Galaxy S7.

Almost all Snapdragon 820 powered devices that will be released this year will include it, with the exception of Samsung, which for some reason is stuck with Quick Charge 2.0. What all this means is that the LG G5 is fast charging for those times when owners can’t replace the removable battery.

Quick Charge Technology

Essentially, when the battery drops below 10%, it charges incredibly fast, increasing the battery capacity to almost 50% in 30 minutes with the QC 2.0. After 30 minutes it gradually returns to normal speeds to preserve battery life and still ensure you are fully charged. The same 30 minutes as the LG G5 will boost the phone to about 80%. Enough for an entire night or a long workday in less than half an hour. Below is a preview of what fast charging does, as demonstrated by Qualcomm.

As you can see Quick Charge is very fast. Using any old regular charger from an old device or a cheap one from a gas station won’t work. It’s supposed to support Quick Charge and the manufacturer needs it too, and LG does it too. Normal chargers will continue to charge the G5, but over 50% slower. More than 2 hours to be full instead of just 70 minutes.

Something that most phones in 2015 or 2016 don’t offer.
