While LG didn’t make a song and dance of it when they announced the G4, the device does in fact support Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. This means that G4 owners can take advantage of rapid charging speeds using a 9V current instead of the conventional 5V. According to Phone Arena, these faster charging speeds allow you to fully recharge your G4’s battery in just 98 minutes. You can read our full explanation of Quick Charge 2.0 here.
Annoyingly, the stock charger that comes with LG G4 is not Quick Charge 2.0 compatible, so you need to purchase one separately to get your speedy charging fix. We’ve picked out 7 of the best LG G4 Quick Chargers which will charge your phone up to 23% faster.
1. Olixar USB Mains Fast Charger
A mains adapter is a great place to start as you can use one with the USB charging cable that came with your LG G4. The Olixar USB Mains Fast Charger is a good choice, small and discreet unlike other bulkier chargers and it even comes with UK, EU, US and Australian adapters so you don’t have to settle for snail-like charging on your travels.
2. Official Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger
If you’re after a mains plug and cable solution, you can’t go wrong with Samsung’s Official Adaptive Fast Charger. Although this is the charger that comes as standard with Samsung’s latest phones, it will work just fine with the LG G4. (Phone Arena reports that it performs identically to the other Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 chargers it tested). It’s nice and compact, and some may favour the white finish over predominantly black alternatives.
3. Aukey Portable 10,000mAh Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Power Bank
Power banks are a sensible idea to allow you to keep your phone going on the go, when you can’t get to a mains outlet. The good news is, you can now find power banks which are Quick Charge 2.0 compatible, so you don’t have to sacrifice charging speeds when you’re out and about – perfect for a quick power top up. The Aukey Portable 10,000mAh Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Power Bank strikes a good balance between portability and capacity, holding enough charge to comfortably refuel your LG G4 three times over. It’s a sleek looking charger too, will fit away in a bag or pocket and should compliment your G4 nicely.
4. Incipio Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 USB Car Charger
With a standard car charger, a 10 minute drive around the block would barely give you an extra percent charge, but with compatible LG G4 quick chargers such as this one from Incipio you can boost your LG G4 by as much as 15% in the same amount of time. It comes with a USB socket and an easy-to-read LED charging indicator to help you keep track of your charging progress.
5. Ye!! 6-port USB Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Power Adapter
As well as having an awesome name that you can’t help but shout, the Ye!! 6-port USB Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Power Adapter is a neat hub that lets you fast charge your G4 and up to 5 other devices simultaneously. Again, you can just plug the cable that came with your LG G4 (or your Micro USB charging cable of choice) into one of the USB ports and away you go. Available in Black or White, it’s ideal for a desk or bedside table.
6. Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Fast Charging Dock Stand
This neat charging stand combines a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 mains adapter with a micro USB cable and dock to create a tidy fast charging solution for your LG G4. The dock holds your phone upright at a nice viewing angle, so you can still view your notifications while charging. It comes with the same travel plug adapters as the Olixar Mains Charger, so you can take this show on the road.
7. Xtorm 12,000mAh USB Type-C Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Power Bank
These power bank LG G4 quick chargers from Xtorm not only support Quick Charge 2.0, but are rechargeable via the new high speed reversible USB Type-C cables which greatly reduce time spent fiddling with cable connectors. While the LG G4 doesn’t support USB Type-C itself, there is a Micro USB cable included for charging your phone, and with most new Android devices moving towards this new connection it’s not a bad idea to future proof yourself.
