Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 for UK Z3C?

7cfm — Thu, 27 Nov 2014 13:18:30 GMT

Can some-one give a definitive answer as to whether an Xperia Z3 Compact purchased in the UK is quick charge 2.0 enabled before I buy a QC charger for it? According to the Qualcom website both the Z2, Z3 and Z3C are QC 2.0 capable, however checking through this forum it appears that only the Japanese variant of the Z2 and Z3 actually have QC 2.0, is this the same for the Z3C? Thanks

Quick Charge 2.0

Hi,

The z3c is compatible with quick charge 2.0 on the mirco-USB connector.

But will it allow the quick charge 2.0 with the magnetic connector? (not by the micro-usb connector).

I know that Sony doesn't sell yet a charger compatible with quick charge 2.0. but that's not the question.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, it does support Quick Charge 2.0 over the magnetic connector but the magnetic charging dock must also support Quick Charge 2.0. Our DK48 supports it.

Does the z3c support Quick Charge 2.0?

I am trying to figure out if the z3c supports Quick Charge 2.0.

On Qualcomm's website it says that 2.0 is supported:

https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdragon/2014/06/04/quick-charge-20-has-arrived

But the charger that Sony packs with the z3c is 5V 1.5A charger. I'm considering buying one of the Quick Charge 2.0 chargers for travelling, and don't want to break anything if I end up using it on my z3c.

Also, will using Quick Charge 2.0 long term cause increased battery wear? From what I understand, the hotter the battery gets the more wear it will cause.

Don't do it, none of Sony Xperia line up support quickcharge 2.0

Rickard — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 10:19:05 GMT

The Z3 Compact does support Quick Charge 2.0 but we currently don't have any Quick Charge 2.0 charger on the market.
Note that if you want to use Quick Charge 2.0 over the magnetic connector the charging dock must also support Quick Charge 2.0. Our DK48 supports it.

That's good to know and I will order a quick charge certified charger to go with my DK48 charging dock. I also have a couple of Magnector X-202 charging cables, does any-one know if these are capable of using quick charge 2.0 if connected to a certified charger?

I took Thommo's advice above and contacted the Sony Xperia contact centre and asked the following question

Can you confirm whether an Xperia Z3 Compact purchased in the UK as a Christmas present is qualcomm quick charge 2.0 enabled as I would like confirmation before I purchase in a quick charge 2.0 charger.

Here is the response from Gregor Innes, Sony Xperia UK Customer Services:-

In regards to your current case I can advise that this is not something that I know the Xperia Z3 Compact handset has. This may be something that is introduced in later models, but we cannot advise the compatability of a Sony product with a third party manufacturer, without this first being tested.

So now I have two answers but which one of correct?

Thank you! I will be buying a Quick Charge 2.0 charger soon for my trip abroad.

Does anyone know if Quick Charge 2.0 chargers will charge at 5V, 9V or 12V? Standard Android phones charge at 5V at varying amperages.

@uliwooly - But Rickard's answer is the opposite to your answer?

Rickard — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 08:08:29 GMT

We forwarded this internally for more information some time ago and the information i got is that Z3 Compact does support Quick Charge 2.0. The following Xperia devices supports Quick Charge 2.0:

Xperia™ Z3 Compact
Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact
Xperia™ Z2 Tablet
Xperia™ Z3 (only Japanese variants SO-01G, SOL26 and 401SO)
Xperia™ Z2 (only Japanese variant SO-03F)

Of our docking stations, only DK48 supports it.

But i don't have any Quick Charge 2.0 charger so i haven't been able to test how much faster it will charge.

I'd like to see how long it would take to charge. If anyone has bought a quick charger 2.0 and tested it, please give us some feedback.

Thanks Rickard for your information.
