Qualcomm Introduces Quick Charge 5+ to Keep Fast Charging Cooler

The upgrade targets heat reduction with dynamic power tuning up to 20V at 7A.

Overview

  • Qualcomm says Quick Charge 5+ preserves the high speeds of Quick Charge 5 while cutting heat during maximum-rate charging.
  • The system dynamically adjusts voltage and current in real time, supporting up to 20V at 7A to sustain performance without thermal throttling.
  • Compatibility covers most prior Quick Charge versions from 2.0 across devices and accessories, with support described as extending to non-Snapdragon hardware.
  • Qualcomm claims cooler operation can help battery longevity and keep performance steady during intensive use such as gaming or streaming while plugged in.
  • Accessories using the new standard are expected to ship later in 2025, with device demonstrations planned at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit.
