Google Engineer Warns Against Phones With USB-C and QuickCharge 3.0
We mentioned earlier that some early USB-C cables were out of specification and could damage your hardware . It turns out the same can be said for some phones that have a USB-C port and support Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 technology.
As Google engineer Benson Leung explains, Qualcomm’s new QuickCharge 3.0 technology fundamentally flies in the face of the USB-C specification. You can read the technical details at the link below, but the bottom line is that Qualcomm is changing the rules to make its fast charging technology possible. Currently, both the LG G5 and the new HTC 10 use these conflicting technologies at the same time. Fast chargers already have their drawbacks . While they can usually be worth the risk, it might be worth considering the dangers of conflicting specifications for your device.
