Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge only come with Quick Charge 2.0 support

In case you were looking for Qualcomm’s latest charging tech included in the new Samsung Galaxy devices, unfortunately, you won’t be getting it this time around. Unlike the LG G5 that has Quick Charge 3.0 support, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are still sporting Quick Charge 2.0. This is because Samsung makes use of two different processors for their devices and these don’t have the same charging capabilities. While the Snapdragon 820 processor supports the next-gen charging tech, Samsung’s own Exynos 8 processor doesn’t. For consistency, Samsung opted to keep the same Quick Charge 2.0 speed. But this isn’t particularly a slouch either. You can still get a good chunk of your battery back in 15 minutes if you use the right accessory.
