One from the biggest mysteries upon the discharge of the LG G4 was why it didn't include fast-charging capabilities when its chipset, the Snapdragon 808, had Quick Charge 2.0 constructed into it automagically. Now, LG has turned around and confirmed which the LG G4 is certainly compatible with Quick Charge, however the company simply chose to never promote the feature.
Speaking with Pocketnow, LG said which the LG G4 wasn't beautifully made with Quick Charge planned, but so it features it nonetheless because of the Snapdragon 808. The LG G4 doesn't contain a Quick Charge 2.0 adapter however, so customers must buy a third-party adapter as long as they want to make use of it.
Quick Charge 2.0 is really a technology manufactured by Qualcomm, constructed into the company's recent chipsets like the Snapdragon 808 and 810. Qualcomm says it's effective at charging a smartphone battery from 0 percent to 60 % in just a half-hour. This is usually a big boost within the 30 percent that Quick Charge 1.0 was able to charging in half an hour.
Pocketnow tested Quick Charge 2.0 with all the LG G4, and confirmed the feature truly does work, charging 25 percent with the battery in 19 minutes.
In our recent review with the LG G4, there we were impressed using the phone and gave it 4.5 stars away from 5, with your main complaint like a fast-draining battery and absence of Quick Charge (though the car battery is replaceable). Now which it turns out Quick Charge is onboard, the LG G4 has inched somewhat closer to that coveted 5-star rating.
