If LG implemented the same thermal restrictions in the V10 that it did in the G4, then it doesn't support the full QC 2.0 spec outlined by Qualcomm. Each company is allowed to implement QC 2.0 how they see fit.
In the G4, the fastest charge i was able to achieve was 1.2%/min with a QC charger. The stock G4 charger did about 1%/min.
Admittedly I have not tested the V10 in the 45 days or so that I have had it. I've either charged at night or just swapped batteries.
I'll try to run the phone down to about 30% today and then charge and see what charge rate I can get.

Not sure how charging speed on a phone with a removable battery could be a deal breaker but when I get a chance to test the charging speed I will post it.
Just a very basic test this morning. I only used Ampere to monitor so that I could see mAh in the notification panel but I didn't use an app to actually graph the charging cycle.
Test done with included fast charger that comes with the phone.
Other than not using the phone, I didn't change anything. I was still getting email, text, Twitter notifications, WhatsApp messages, etc. Second screen was on. The only time I touched the phone was to quickly bring up the lock screen so I could see the charge percentage.
I started at 28% and the first interval was to 53%. That took 15 minutes. So for that interval the phone charged at 1.67%/min (25% divided by 15 minutes). Ampere showed 2800 mAh, which is much faster than the max of 2100 that I ever saw on the G4.
Next interval was 53% to 71% which took 14 minutes and the charge rate was 1.29%/min during that interval. When I checked this time, Ampere showed 2100 mAh.
I think I remember reading that fast charging is from 0-60% so that would explain the drop off in charging current.
I ended up letting the phone charged for exactly 60 minutes and ended at 95%. So the phone charged 67% in 60 minutes to give an overall charge rate of 1.12%.
It should be noted that after 90%, the phone enters trickle charge and only charges at about 1% every 2 minutes.
Fast charging is designed to top off the phone in a short amount of time and although 1.67%/min may not be the fastest charge rate for a phone, it certainly gets the job done, especially when you consider that the battery could just be swapped for a full one.
For reference, the fastest charge rate I ever saw my G4 do was 1.2%/min.

What if you don't have a battery or if your battery is dead because you didn't have time to charge it?
I can't get over how far it actually charges in daily use. I can plug it in at 60% on my desk at work and before I even realize it, is already at 100%. I can't be bothered with scientific research, but from my use with the G4, I genuinely notice how fast the V10 charges.

Full charge in 65 mins or less every single time using Aukey's QC 2.0 wall charger. I use the stock charger for night time charging, so don't know the time it takes.
So you are saying you can charge from 0-100% in 65 minutes or less even though the last 10% (from 90% to 100%) takes 15-20 minutes no matter what charger you use?
Consistently. get around 65% in the first 30 mins, and the remaining in the next 35.
