Today, we’d like to introduce the Anker PowerPort+ 1. This American wall charger has something special inside: Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 capabilities. That means when you use it with a phone or tablet that supports the standard, you’ll get incredibly fast charging at new levels of power efficiency?—?in fact, it’s 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0.
A brief primer on Quick Charge 3.0
So, how is this efficiency achieved? Well, the major new feature of 3.0 is called Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage, or INOV. That means that devices can request any voltage between 3.2V and 20V at 0.2V increments, ensuring only voltage that can be used is actually delivered. That reduces waste, which prevents heat from building up and damaging the longevity of the battery.
Quick Charge 3.0 will be available on many new Qualcomm chipsets, from high-end models to budget variants. The full list includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, 620, 618, 617 and 430.
Back to our Anker charger
This Anker charger includes Quick Charge 3.0, so it’ll work well with new Android smartphones and tablets with the Qualcomm chipsets listed above. You’ll benefit from the same fast charging speeds as Quick Charge 2.0, but you’ll notice much less heat is produced by the charger, and your device’s battery will last longer.
The charger itself has a simple and portable design, measuring around two inches square and one inch deep. It comes with a folding plug and an easy-to-find USB-A port on the front of the charger. You’ll also see an indicator light, which shows you when your phone is charging or fully charged.
