Qualcomm’s fast charging tech lets big battery phones like the Note 4, Nexus 6 and HTC One M8 reach 100% way faster than you’d expect – sometimes up to 75% faster than a standard charger. On some phones that support the most recent Quick Charge 2.0 specification, you can reach 60% charge in just 30 minutes.
That’s great for charging up your phone using the wall charger you got in the box, but what about in your car? Well, soon you’ll be able to get a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 car charger as well!
Our first Quck Charge 2.0 car chargers
We’ve got two different Quick Charge 2.0 car chargers to show you today: a Dual USB model in white and black, and a smaller PureGear Extreme in black.
Let’s look at the Dual USB option first. This car charger provides two 2.4A ports, providing 4.8A of power in total. That means you’re able to charge both smartphones and tablets at full speed; a rarity for a car charger.
Your other option is the PureGear Extreme. This offers the same fast Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 charging, but with a single USB port instead of two. The PureGear Extreme is smaller – making it more portable – and also more stylish.
Whichever option you choose, you’ll see the best results with phones or tablets that are using Qualcomm’s recent Snapdragon 800 series chipsets (which includes Snapdragon 800, 801, 805 and 810). Pretty much all flagship Android and Windows Phones use this chipset, so chances are good that your phone will be supported.
To check, you can search on GSMArena.com (type the name of your phone into the box in the upper right) or just Google for “Snapdragon” and the name of your phone. You can also ask us in the comments below or see Qualcomm’s partial list here.
Conclusion
Quick Charge 2.0 is pretty cool, so we’re glad to see Qualcomm bring it to the car with these new car chargers. Soon, worrying about running out of power on a long drive will be a thing of the past.
