Qualcomm's new Quick Charge 5+ tech promises blazing speeds without the heat

The chip giant revs up charging game.

Qualcomm today unveiled Quick Charge 5+, a new iteration of its long-running standard that promises faster, cooler, and more efficient power delivery without the usual compromises. Quick Charge 5+ identifies what kind of device it’s plugged into and optimizes power delivery, which not only wastes less energy but could also lower costs for manufacturers. Compared to other solutions that crank up voltage just to hit big wattage numbers, the new iteration takes a more balanced approach that avoids unnecessary heat and inefficiency.
