The unbelievably [rapid charging technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneplus-100w-compact-supervooc-gan-charger) can take a phone from 0 to 80% battery in just 35 minutes. Most Android phones already come equipped with the magic of Qualcomm Quick Charge but the next generation of charging technology -- Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 -- will be able to charge at never-before-seen speed. The technology will be integrated into [Qualcomm's 2016 processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qualcomm-snapdragon-x2-plus) which will most likely make their way into next year's range of smartphones. The chip-making giant says that Qualcomm Quick Charge will also be gentler on batteries in the long run, meaning that the eventual wear-down from a full day of battery life to needing to charge every two hours will be a much slower decline. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rapid Charging Technology:** The integration of Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 into smartphones presents an opportunity for companies to develop and market rapid charging devices. - **Extended Battery Life:** The gentler charging technology of Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 opens up possibilities for businesses to create products and services that prolong battery life. - **Next Generation Processors:** The introduction of Qualcomm's 2016 processors with Quick Charge 3.0 creates potential for innovative technologies that maximize charging efficiency. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile Accessories:** The rapid charging trend creates opportunities for companies in the mobile accessories industry to develop and manufacture innovative charging devices. - **Battery Technology:** The demand for extended battery life presents opportunities for businesses in the battery technology industry to create advanced and longer-lasting battery solutions. - **Semiconductor Manufacturing:** The integration of Quick Charge 3.0 into processors drives the need for companies in the semiconductor manufacturing industry to produce cutting-edge processors with improved charging capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Charge Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-gt3.md) - [Hyper-Speed Charging Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-320w-supersonic-charge.md) - [Hyper-Speedy Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-gt-neo-5.md) - [Bypass-Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bypasscharging-midrange-smartphones.md) - [Rapid Phone Charging Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swapperys-external-smartphone-battery.md) - [Ultra-Fast Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneplus-10t.md) - [High-Power Charging Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-gt5.md) - [Ultra-Fast Charging Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-12.md) - [Textual Quick Charge Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivo-y100-4g.md)
