NIFTY: Qualcomm can charge your phone faster than you can read this story.

Quick Charge 4 will provide up to 5 hours of battery life on just a 5-minute charge, said Everett Roach, Qualcomm’s senior director of product management, at the Snapdragon Tech Summit on Wednesday.

“We put a lot of hard work and engineering into new products, and we’re gonna deliver what we hope is a much better charging experience from 2016,” Roach said.

The charging capabilities will also be integrated into Qualcomm’s next generation of mobile processors, including the Snapdragon 835.

I hope Qualcomm has any bugs ironed out of this. Leaning too hard on rapid-charging is believed by some to be the culprit behind Samsung’s “exploding” Galaxy Note 7.
