      regs, 04 Jun 2014So that's simply 5V 12A or 12V 5A charger?Not through Micro-USB, it will melt those small pins. They are rated for 1.5Amps.
      Don't go by charger size such as 2Amps, this does not meant he device is capable of pulling 2amps.

          Don't believe me? Research any lithium battery charging white paper.

                  Is this linked to Sonys quick charger?? Do they use the qualcomm method or their own? Good idea though!

                        Not as flashy (pun intended) or as quick to charge as Nokia's lightning bolt charger.

                            This will help improve my SGS4s charging time, ever since I went kit-kat, battery life has been halved and charging time has been doubled.

                                I hope they have taken care of safety aspect of it.

                                  Now make a safe mobile battery which can last 2 months on a single charge.

                                    Absolutely good news! But I hope that Qualcomm will be extremely fast to introduce it on a higher scale (globally) well so compliments to Qualcomm!

                                      Charging a cell in 20 min seems cool.
