0n company like that use 5000 mah battery with 5v 1a on a suppose midrange phone and large screen with 720p display and micro USB 90htz refresh rate for gaming
and 256ppi for better display they can market old tech ideas or common features that every phone has as a spec

Na money dey worry you
my Itel phone takes 2hrs to fully charge

because you bought your moneys worth doesn't give you right to devalue the product......signing out

Matheusmartin:
..
See them.

Matheusmartin:
..

I remember my tecno wx3..
That phone nor dey last 1hr and e dy use over 5hrs take charge full..

i used the wx3p and it lasts 10hrs on continuous usage and takes 6hrs to fully charge.
stop buying second hand products ......signing out

8.
Go sit down.
Imagine a whole 6hrs, who get that time..

abatically:


Add money buy better phone. Im pretty sure not all itel phones charge that slow. U bought what it money could afford.

Did u chat me up now that u want to buy my Binance fund? Just want to be sure cos someone chatted me up now and said his Nairaland username is atheistandproud.

Fast charge technology for smartphones is the rave right now. It is all we can hear about on adverts and reviews. A smartphone without fast charge technology is usually down rated by a lot of reviewers and customers alike.

What is fast charge technology for smartphones? What does it mean and why should you even bother?

As the name implies, fast charge simply means charging a battery really fast, faster than conventional methods would allow. This is done by increasing the current/voltage sent to the battery.

The basic USB specification for charging used to be 5V/0.5A (2.5W). The standard today however has been bumped up to 5V/2A (10W). Any charger or phone that can charge faster than 10W is said to be capable of fast charging.


How Fast Charge Technology For Smartphones works

Fast charging works by taking advantage of the rapid charging/constant current phase. It achieves this by pumping as much current as possible into the battery. This can be done by either increasing the current delivered or increasing the voltage.

When using high voltages, the power circuit in most smartphones are designed to step down the voltage and step up the current. This keeps the amount of power delivered the same e.g. 10V/2.5A = 25W. After voltage step down, 5V/5A = 25W. This is called a switch-mode-step-down power supply or buck inverter.

Buck inverters are used to increase or maintain charging efficiency so that even if the power supply drops or increases voltage, power delivery will remain constant. This is the method of fast charging used by Qualcomm (Quick Charge) and USB (Power Delivery).

The other method is by keeping the voltage stable but increasing the current delivered. Oppo (VOOC/Super VOOC) and One Plus (Warp Charge) are good examples.

Different companies use different standards, wires/cables, charging technologies etc. to achieve this goal. The goal of charging a battery really fast. In fact, as we speak, there is a fast charge arms race with Xiaomi set to be the first company to release 200W fast charge.


Fast charging technologies

Huawei

First up on our list is Chinese tech giants Huawei and their Super Charge. It is capped at 40W (10V/4A). The first-generation offered a 22.5W power output (5V/4.5A). Huawei increased this rating to 40W (10V/4A) with the Mate 20 Pro and made the same available on the Huawei P30 Pro, Mate 30 Pro, and the P40 Pro/Pro Plus smartphones.

Samsung

Next up is Samsung. Samsung’s charging technology is based on USB Power Delivery. The first Adaptive Fast Charging protocol supported 18W (up to 9V/2A) charging but is limited to only flagships, starting with the Galaxy Note 5 and up to the Galaxy S20 series. After lagging behind for a while, Samsung finally moved to 25W (11W/2.25A) charging in 2019, and this standard is officially named Samsung Super Fast Charging. The 25W charger is claimed to charge the 4500mAh battery on the Galaxy A70 to approximately 65% in 60 minutes.

Notably, Samsung also launched 45W (10V/4.5A) charging with the Galaxy Note 10 series and then on the Galaxy S20 series. This technology is called Super Fast Charging 2.0, but went back to 25W charging on the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy S21 series.

USB

USB Power Delivery is a standard for delivering power to smartphones and other USB devices. It can provide up to 65W to USB devices using micro-USB and 100W to devices using USB C. While these figures are impressive, the wattage being used by manufacturers are between 15W (5V/3A) and 27W (9V/3A).

Qualcomm

Qualcomm Quick Charge (Q.C) is the most popular and most widespread charging technology. This is due to the ubiquity of Snapdragon SoCs in a lot of phones. The first iteration of Quick Charge, Q.C 1.0 was released in 2013 and has a speed of 10W (5V/2A). It was soon followed by Q.C 2.0 the next year (2014) which improved charging speeds to a max of 36W (5V – 9V – 12V/3A). Q.C 3.0 came in 2015 with greatly improved charging speeds of 92W (3.6V – 20V/2.5A – 4.6A). Q.C 3.0 also came with intelligent power management and smart charging.

In 2016, Q.C 4.0 came with even better power management and smarter charging which helped to protect against overheating, overcurrent supply etc. Q.C 4.0 was also where cross-compatibility with USB-PD technology was introduced.

Q.C 4.0+ showed up in 2017 and introduced safer charging and better heat management. The charging speed for Q.C 4.0+ are the same as those from Q.C 3.0. In addition it offered speeds of 27W (5V – 9V/3A) when used with PD chargers.

Motorola

Motorola Turbo charge is a derivative of USB PD and offers charging speed of 28.5W (5V – 9V – 12V/5A – 2A).

Xiaomi

Xiaomi’s MI Turbo charge is a modification of Qualcomm’s Quick Charge Technology.

Mediatek

MediaTek Pump Express is a charging technology from the company MediaTek. In 2014, MediaTek announced Pump Express Plus with its specifications similar to Q.C 2.0. It delivered power up to 24W (12V/2A). In 2015, MediaTek announced Pump Express Plus 2.0 parallel to Quick Charge 3.0. Pump Express 3.0 was announced in 2016, and it brought support for USB-PD. It supports power delivery of up to 25W (3V – 6V/5A).

Pump Express 4.0, released in 2018, has similar current and voltage specifications and brought USB-PD support.

Oppo
OPPO is among the smartphone industry leaders when it comes to fast charging. Their first generation proprietary fast charge technology is called VOOC (Voltage Open Loop Multi-step Constant-Current Charging) Flash Charge technology. Oppo’s VOOC increases the current value while keeping the voltage close to the battery’s voltage. This removes the need to step down the voltage using buck inverters. This in turn prevents overheating. With VOOC, OPPO smartphones could charge at 20W (5v/4A).

In 2019, OPPO introduced VOOC 3.0 with support for 25W (5V/5A) with the OPPO Reno series. Later on in the year, OPPO launched VOOC 4.0 with the charging rate bumped to 30W (5V/6A). In 2020, OPPO showcased the SuperVOOC 2.0 charging technology with a 65W (10V/6.5A) output. This was first introduced with the OPPO Find X2 Pro and later iterated on the OPPO Reno 4 Pro and the OPPO Reno 5 Pro.

Oppo VOOC technology is utilized on sister brands under different names. On One Plus phones, it is known as Warp Charge and on Realme phones, it is known as Super-Dart charge.

na so tecno release 10 watts charger as fast charging technology and their mumu users dey celebrate

skywalker240:
Once upon a time in 2019/2020,




Transsion fans: Fast charging is not neccessary in Nigeria, Nigerians does not need it.

Theanyanwu:
fast charger is the way o.

But that intelligent charger, does it work with every smartphone?

Theanyanwu:
did you charge with fast charger and it took 7hrs?

Theanyanwu:
Like eh, whether it relates to Tecno or not, you'll always find a way. Are you that jobless and troublesome?

skywalker240:

To be honest sir, rain de fall here so i never go work for some days.

Give me work and my basket mouth go quite i promise.

atheistandproud:


Fast Charge is not supported on itel phones sir because Unisoc-Spreadtrum SoCs lack the feature.

atheistandproud:


Most modern Smartphones from reputable companies have an intelligent power IC on the motherboard for charging that communicates with the charger.

As for cheap or generic entry level phones however, I can't guarantee that.

Theanyanwu:
Are you not a Xiaomi marketer? Or are they not paying enough? Since you've been famzing Tecno, you go like submit CV?
