When you say qc 2.0, are you referring to Qualcomm, or another implementation?

Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0

It's not qualcomm quickcharge. It's a proprietary fast charge that requires a proprietary power block.

Ok, good to know.

@orangecroc,@dpham00 , Any idea if the new Honor 8 phones are coming with Huawei Emotion UI 5.0 ?

I read on few sites that they are but was not able to get confirmation on Honor 8 website.

EMUI 5 is still in beta testing. We only just got the first update to the beta software this week.

Yeah I was just wondering because i couldn't get my Qualcomm quick charge charger to engage quick charge.
