How to quick charge Samsung Galaxy S8 properly

The exciting Samsung Galaxy S8 launching event has passed several days, the stunning bezel-less infinity display,  dual lens rear camera, capability of IP 68 water resistance, Iris scanning and face recognition, all the new specs mentioned above aroused the Android fans’ attention and make them thrilled to expect the official sales in April. More practically, Samsung Galaxy S8 is supposed to be the redemption of Note 7 explosion scandal and fiasco. The battery security issue is always the top concern of Samsung customers. 

To be compared with the 5.5-inch screen of Samsung Galaxy S7, the size of S8 is extended to 5.8 inch, not to mention the 6.2-inch S8 +, larger the screen is , higher the power-consuming is. While the battery capacity has not upgraded along with the screen size and system, it stays at 3000 mAh without any further development from the last generation. Another question popped out, how long the Samsung Galaxy S8 battery can last regularly? Apparently it can not support a full day for the heavy users without any recharge.

How to quick charge Samsung Galaxy S8 properly? 

To answer this question we need to figure out what type of quick charge technology Samsung Galaxy S8 uses? Does S8 feature Qualcomm quick charge 3.0 or 4? According to the official declaration S8 supports fast charging wired and wireless, and citing from the report from an unknown media in Asia right before the launch date, the S8 / S8 + would continue to use its own AFC fast charge technology, that is, 9V / 1.67A Fast charge, while the majority of smartphone manufacturers had planned to release the breakthrough 20W charging power, 9V/ 1.67A is a little bit out of date in the fast charging industry, not on a par with the Qualcomm quick charge 4.

It has not been confirmed yet whether S8 will use different processors for different region markets, probably parts of versions will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip which is able to support the Quick Charge 4 and Quick Charge 3.0 with backwards compatibility if Samsung is not off the beaten path this year. As Quick Charge 4 has not been released by Qualcomm officially yet, either do the accessories. Therefore, for the Snapdragon processor installed S8 smartphones, in order to be quick charged properly and safely choose the accessories featured with Quick Charge 3.0 is an efficient approach.
