Until we finally get that battery revolution we've all been waiting for,
fast charging technologies in our smartphones and devices are the next best thing.
The USB Type - C port will enable support for the latest
fast charging technology as well as provide significantly faster data transfer speeds.
But company later company had to develop its
own fast charging technology because they started using in - house chipset in their flagship models.
With OEMs opting to make their flagship smartphones thinner each year, we're starting to see more companies employ
fast charging technology as a way to compensate for smaller battery capacities.
But first, Let's talk briefly about what is Dash Charging all about, as we have already explained in detailed about the
proprietary fast charging technology introduced by this young Chinese mobile startup.
The reason the device likely did not ship with
fast charging technology on board is because while the hardware is there, Xiaomi likely did not pay Qualcomm the license to use Quick Charge.
OnePlus have licensed OPPO's VOOC
fast charging technology via a USB Type - C port, rather than using Qualcomm's QuickCharge technology in either 2.0 or 3.0 flavors.
Google recently made it clear that it may ban non-standard USB -
C fast charging technologies like Qualcomm's Quick Charge and even Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging, among others.
To keep the phones alive, Huawei went for the same 4000mAh non-removable battery, but the new Mate 9 shifts from microUSB to USB - C connectivity and also
adds fast charging technology.
While it is too early to say anything concrete about the Dash Charge technology, we know that this is a proprietary
fast charging technology developed in - house by the company, as they recently applied for the trademark in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The power button has a fingerprint sensor embedded into it, like we've seen on Sony devices, and it is the first smartphone to come with Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4
+ fast charging technology.
It also includes 32 GB of internal storage, microSD expansion slot, 13 - megapixel rear camera, 2.1 - megapixel front - facing shooter, and large 3,000 mAh battery with
Fast Charge technology built in, which allows a 50 percent charge in less than 40 minutes.
