AnonD-472839, 02 Jun 2017q.c. 4 is available in zte nubia 2017That's the only phone with QC4.0.
I think the reason for none of those devices having QC 4.0 is also because of qualcomms PMIC not being released at the moment. The SMB1380 and 81 aren't going to be released until the end of the year but that's not an excuse to be fair. Those devices could and should be having QC4.0 in them. Charging the amount they do for them. Its ridiculous.

This means Quick Charge won't go away as it's supposed to be an improvement over other charging standards and gives Qualcomm an advantage through proprietary technologies.

It's best for you to charge your phone using the normal voltage if you're not in a hurry. It will help your battery life to live much longer. Quick Charging destroys or kills the cells in your battery much faster compared to regular charging

Quick Charge(TM) might soon disappear in favor of regular USB-C fast charging. Google already gave signs that future versions of Android might require devices to instead adopt USB-C fast charging standards. Which is fine by me, my 5X charges in minutes and without any fuss.

That might explain why QC is making noise over their proprietary tech.

spare battery:
0-100% in 1 minute
extended (bigger, higher capacity) battery:
one charge lasts several days, therefore no need to recharge every day.
And don't forget that batteries degrade, lose capacity over time which means they discharge much faster (especially after about 2 years of usage) and the Quick Charge or power banks won't help. But with removable battery you can insert a new life (new battery) in your phone.

Wishful thinking from fans hoping quick implementatation of QC 4.0 or even 4+ will happen soon, but unfortunately it'll take more than a next generation of devices & third party manufacturers to put it on the market.

You can introduce ultra charge thay charges phones in 5 minutes and I still wouldn't use it. Charging faster than 1.5 A degrades battery life significantly. In fact, the slower the charge the longer the batter will last.
Back when we had removable batteries that might not have been a problem, but nowadays it most certainly is. I chargr my S7 with a 1A charger. It takes 3 hours from 0 to 100 which is nothing. About the time I read an article online and drink a tea it's done. Especially considering it's better to keep your battery between 20 and 80 so I usually don't let it go below 15 or charge over 95.

Definitely a good news. Although hopefully now, all the top flagships [(& killers) obviously Android based] will follow the Nubia Z17. So hopefully the V30 and all the other upcomers (especially the Note 8, Qualcomm's variant), as well.
