Faux G all over again

It wasn't an intentional lie like what at&t is doing and in my market it got fixed fairly quickly. It was just a quirk involving being connected to a 5g tower that didn't have 5g turned on yet. Sprint was deploying 5G NR on their 2.5ghz spectrum which was shared with LTE. Now all that is dead in...

I have to break it to you guys but many of these Sprint results are actually just LTE. There was an issue with the 5G indicator displaying anytime your phone was connected to 5G capable equipment (band 41 64t64r equipment) regardless of 5G actually being enabled on that equipment or not. On the...

My guess is there is some increase in BOM that support for 3A would incur that can be avoided by supporting 9V at lower amperage. It is also interesting that budget phones with fast charging capability are using Qualcomm QC rather than USB-PD. Perhaps USB-PD is not as cheap to implement as QC...

Does the Nexus 5x support 9V over USB-PD?

I have a USB C cable with a meter and several different chargers and devices. Something interesting to note is that my partners note 8 does support 3A at 5V.

Through testing I have determined the V30 supports 5V 2A and 9V 1.67A via USB-PD. If your charger only supplies 5V then you will not see full speed charging.

I'll give you the faster point, but that is at the expense of battery longevity. As for versatility I don't know that it really matters, QC is designed to coexist with USB-PD.

I'm happy about the Qnovo tech being Incorporated into the V30, it helps to alleviate my anxiety over the sealed battery.

Trust me when I say that if USB-PD were equal or superior to quick charge 2, 3, or 4 manufacturers wouldn't be paying the money to incorporate QC in handsets. With all the new phones "featuring" sealed in batteries it is more important than ever to be mindful of battery longevity. I am also very...
