Rapid charging on the S6

[AC Question]

On the latest podcast, Phil mentioned that the S6 has rapid charging. How does Samsung do this if they're not using the Qualcomm processor? Is it the same setup as the Note 4? Does that mean the Note 4 doesn't have the official Qualcomm 2.0 quick charge? I would love if someone broke that down on the podcast. Love you guys.

Welcome to Android Central!

It is all the same, they are just all naming it something different. Quick Charge, Fast Charge, Rapid Charge. It is all the same stuff, you can interchange the chargers from all the phones and they will all activate the charging ability. No different than saying Retina Display or Quad HD, just fancy terms.
