Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 isn’t enabled in the LG G4

Were you looking forward to using Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 on your new LG G4? Unfortunately, even though it is a Snapdragon-powered device, it does not support Quick Charge 2.0.

While the LG G4 does sport the Snapdragon 808 SoC, and Qualcomm says the chipset supports Quick Charge 2.0, LG did not enable the coveted feature this time around. While the LG G4 may not have the faster charging capabilities, the device still charges relatively fast, even though you may not have a full battery with only a few minutes on the charger.

It still has the usual 1.8 Amp capabilities, so you can still get a zero to full charge within two hours. If you absolutely need that extra battery life, there’s always the option of carrying an extra battery with you. If you really want to get your hands on Quick Charge 2.0, the good news is that the HTC One M9 supports it, although you’ll have to purchase a compatible charging cable, as it isn’t including with the One M9.

We could look forward to LG supporting it next year, although it’s highly possible the company just might not want to shell out gobs of money for the patent licensing. What do you think? Will you be getting the LG G4 still? Let us know in the comments.
