Qualcomm has revealed its Quick Charge 1.0 technology, which powers devices 40 percent faster than previous generations.
The semiconductor firm announced that the technology resides in more than 70 smartphones and tablets powered by its Snapdragon processors.
A Quick Charge could fully charge a device under three hours, while other devices without the Quick Charge 1.0 technology installed could take over four hours. Qualcomm's technology is made possible via a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) that works through the USB connector.
