The most popular fast charging technology is Quick Charge . We will take a look at devices with the two latest versions of Quick Charge 4 and Quick Charge 4+, since they are the ones that are most often found in modern smartphones. But at the same time, we will not ignore other devices with other technologies.

Why aren't many flagship devices listed?
The fact is that, if you take the Galaxy S10 as an example, it uses Fast Adaptive Charging based on the old Quick Charge 2.0 technology with a maximum charging speed of 15W.
The Note10 supports 25W charging, while the Note10 + supports 45W charging. The latter uses the USB-PD standard – it is a competitor to Qualcomm Quick Charge. Due to the dismal Note7 experience in the Note10 +, you won't be able to use any chargers. Note-line supports PPS (Programming Power Supply) chargers. This standard allows you to change the standard voltage and amperage supported by Power Delivery technology. PPS reduces energy loss and heating by slowly increasing voltage and decreasing amperage while charging.
In addition, the Note10 + requires a dedicated cable marked 'E' in addition to the PPS charging. Samsung is more sensitive to heat while charging, and the Note10's 25W charge performs better than the OnePlus 7T's 30W charge.
Power Delivery technology is popular along with QC and is used, among other things, by the company Apple.
Quick Charge
Quick Charge 4 was introduced in 2016, and it was from this version that the Type-C cable became possible. Added compatibility with the Power Delivery standard. When you connect the device to a charger, the first thing to do is to check for Power Delivery support. If the device does not support the standard, QC4 will connect.
Quick Charge 4 and Quick Charge 4+ support up to 100W maximum power, while QC 2.0 and 3.0 supported 36W charging. With the arrival of QC4, it became possible to charge a smartphone up to 100% in just 15 minutes.
Oppo Reno Ace is the world's fastest charging smartphone
The smartphone is equipped with a 4000 mAh battery and charges to 100% in just 31 minutes. In just 15 minutes, the smartphone can be charged up to 57%. Oppo has managed to achieve such fast charging thanks to Super VOOC 2.0 technology and two charge blocks, due to which the heat is evenly distributed throughout the body of the device, preventing it from exploding, as was the case with the Note 7.
This is how the process of charging a smartphone looks like:
- 5 minutes: 10 percent
- 10 minutes: 37 percent
- 15 minutes: 57 percent
- 20 minutes: 76 percent
- 25 minutes: 92 percent
- 28 minutes: 98 percent
- 29 minutes: 99 percent
- 30 minutes: 99 percent
The charge speed race could be the new trend of 2020. The market requires good battery life in addition to good screens and cameras, and fast charging is one way to improve this figure.
Batteries are the main problem in the development of the mobile device market along with heating. Software developers are limited by processor performance, and they, in turn, are limited by heat and power consumption. Of course, it is possible to come up with an effective cooling system, but what about the batteries? Fast charging only solves some of the problems; a new graphene-based battery technology is needed.
