Qualcomm Debuts Quick Charge 5+ for Cooler, Smarter 100W‑Plus Charging

Dynamic power control aims to curb heat during ultra‑fast top‑ups.

Overview

  • The system dynamically adjusts voltage and current up to 20V at 7A to sustain high speeds with less heat and throttling.
  • Qualcomm touts 0–50% in about five minutes and 100W‑plus rates, with some reports citing peak output near 140W.
  • It identifies the connected device to optimize power delivery for efficiency and battery health during demanding use.
  • Backward compatibility extends to Quick Charge 2.0 and support spans non‑Snapdragon hardware as well as USB PD and PPS accessories.
  • First compatible devices are set to be unveiled at the Sept. 23–25 Snapdragon Summit, with chargers expected later in 2025.
