Intel to launch its own offerings in late 2014 Qualcomm and Samsung together founded the Alliance for Wireless Power, which competitor Intel ( NASDAQ:INTC) recently joined. Qualcomm's statement said it will deploy a strong Quick Charge ecosystem throughout Japan due to the country's quick uptake on new advanced technologies, but hinted that it intends to develop 'beyond' the country in the future. Also available as part of an integrated circuit processor or an AC/DC wall charger, users won't even have to change the charger to power up their devices. The technology will also be able to charge Qualcomm's own Snapdragon 800, 600, and 400 processors, which are used in a range of smartphones made by Sony, HTC, Samsung (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF), and Motorola, among others, and even Amazon's Kindle devices. Quick Charge 2.0 delivers 60 watts, which improves charge times and increases support to cover 'larger mobile computing devices like slim notebooks.'Ĭurrently available in Japan, mobile phone operator DoCoMo has partnered with Qualcomm to make the technology available for a range of smartphones, tablets, and power adapters to be accessible as of summer 2014. The company's Quick Charge 1.0 technology, offering 10 watts of power, was primarily designed for charging smartphones and tablets. Qualcomm's launch of the updated Quick Charge 2.0 enables a broader range of electrical products to be charged approximately 75% faster than products without its technology.

Wireless technology company Qualcomm ( NASDAQ:QCOM), via its wholly owned subsidiary Qualcomm Technologies, is enhancing its Quick Charge ecosystem, which provides significantly faster electronic device charging, the company said in a statement last week.
