The Bad The phone is only sold in China and in limited quantities, and it's also Xiaomi's most expensive yet. The camera's pretty average at best and taking selfies can be awkward. The Bottom Line The Xiaomi Mi Mix is a glimpse of the all-screen future of phones. But Xiaomi needs to improve on basics like the camera and find a way to make more of these before we can wholeheartedly recommend it. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.

Qualcomm says its Quick Charge 4 tech can charge a phone for up to five hours in five minutes, Quick Charge 4 will provide up to 5 slim armor case for apple iphone 7 plus and iphone 8 plus - champagne gold hours of battery life on a 5-minute charge, Everett Roach, Qualcomm's senior director of product management, said at the Snapdragon Tech Summit on Wednesday, "We put a lot of hard work and engineering into new products, and we're gonna deliver what we hope is a much better charging experience from 2016," Roach said, Because Quick Charge is built into Snapdragon, this isn't a feature you can just buy, You'll have to look out for phones powered by the Snapdragon 835 (Qualcomm hasn't said which companies will use this chip)..

Battery life has always been a thorn in the side for device owners, and that pain has only gotten sharper as phones and tablets grew larger and more powerful. Fast charging has become a top priority for 61 percent of phone buyers, Qualcomm found in a study. Quick Charge uses an algorithm that Qualcomm calls Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage (INOV), which manages how much power your devices request through charging cables. The Quick Charge 4 update also includes heat management to make sure your phone or tablet doesn't overheat while charging, an issue that effectively killed off Samsung's Galaxy Note 7.

Roach said safety was a major concern for Qualcomm, On the outlet end, wall chargers and other devices using Quick Charge 4 will have protections to prevent overcharging and overheating, Phones using the Snapdragon 835 will get three levels of current and voltage protection, as well as four levels of protection to stop overheating, slim armor case for apple iphone 7 plus and iphone 8 plus - champagne gold The processor will also help manage battery life, pushing for longer usage, Qualcomm is boasting a 20 percent faster charge time with 30 percent more battery efficiency compared the previous generation of Quick Charge, That means saving 2 to 3 minutes for charging while getting an extra hour or two before having to plug your phone back in..

Quick Charge 4 also will keep your phone cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius compared with the last generation. The company doesn't want to limit its super-fast charging tech to phones. Roach sees Quick Charge 4 being able to fully power tablets, VR headsets and drones within minutes. Currently, more than 600 million devices support Quick Charge, with a rising demand for faster battery charging. "Quick Charge 4 addresses that need by providing up to 50 percent battery charge in roughly 15 minutes or less, so you don't have to spend all day chained to your charging cable," Alex Katouzian, Qualcomm's vice president of product management, said in a statement.
