Anonymous, 04 Oct 2018Show us some proof that Qnovo works. Your web site is just ... moreAs someone who has owned several Sony phones since the old Xperia T, I can say that the XZ, my current phone (for the next week, after which I am upgrading to the XZ3) has survived much longer than the Z2 in terms of battery. However, the flip side to that is that both me and my girlfriend have noticed significant issues with the charging port itself (which we hope has been fixed) making any kind of charging a bit hit and miss.

As for Qnovo - I couldn't even begin to claim that Qnovo has helped my battery lasting longer than my old Z2 (which became incapable of holding a charge within 18 months of purchase) - I am almost at two years with my XZ and it is going strong, barring the port issues. But here's the kicker - I decided to turn off Qnovo after about 8 months because it was actually quite disruptive. If I had to get up earlier for an early appointment, or was sick for a few days, or slept in for weekends, returning to my regular schedule was actually leaving me with a less than fully charged phone that was meant to last a whole day at 90%.

So whether or not the tech works, it's most definitely not for everyone. And I'd much prefer improvements to battery life and life expectancy that weren't disruptive to the actual daily use of my phone. Hoping the XZ3 delivers.

    MasEnha, 06 Oct 2018ZX4 or Note 10, since no 5G on current phones, why bother.not sure u notice or not. gsmarena did post about sony xz3 as 5g compatible. theoritically it makes xz3 first phone with 5g enable. but for other country to have 5g other than first world countries. u need to wait a long time. but u need a mobile now u dont even need to bother about 5g

            Anonymous, 05 Oct 2018Here is my proof. I know plenty of people with 4/5 year old... moreGo patent it as long as you have tests and claimed and 0 failed and technology.

              Anonymous, 05 Oct 2018Here is my proof. I know plenty of people with 4/5 year old... moregiven the technology is fairly new, which only introduced on xz1, just give another few years for it to prove itself. My XZP is just 1 year and 3 months and still need long time to prove it. But my galaxy note 4 and s2 battery lasted me 3 years most and could not hold a charge anymore. But those 2 phones can swap battery easily since it is removable.

              LG V30 just pick up this qnovo charging last year. So I would say just give it some time. If it is just false claim, sony and lg would not spend so much to adopt the tech. As well as electric car company.

              Qnovo charging limit the charging current as well.
              0-50% 2.4A
              50-60% 2.0A
              60-70% 1.4A
              70-80 1.0A
              and reducing until 0.5A when reaching 90%. This is to prevent over stress on the battery. That is why you keep seeing sony phone come out last in charging battery battle in youtube. Starting XZ2 premium sony phones support Power Delivery, which is another way of charging using usb c to usb c and power delivery enabled charger. Aukey has those power banks and charger to support it. Read it up. I personally own a PD Aukey XD26 26800 mah power bank and it charge my XZP with 2.4a without even heating.

              In terms of charging,
              Power delivery > QC 3.0 > QC 2.0 > normal charging. Because of more efficient charging and less power loss as heat. Try it before you comment. On the other hand, Note 9 only support QC2.0 and apple doesnt even come with a fast charger, LOL

                A smart Shooter, 04 Oct 2018Qnovo tested and patented and it is at the Qnovo official p... moreHere is my proof. I know plenty of people with 4/5 year old phones running on original battery and still holds good charge without Qnovo.

                There is NO proof to support Qnovo. Only its own website selling its own product. Qnovo Propaganda with NO proof.

                So, according to your logic, I can make a website and say that I've visited Mars and its true. hahaha

Your web site is just ... moreAnd also if you leave it for overnight charge qnovo adopts to your sleep length and makes average result in example per month and etc.. In that way my beefy 3430mah gets charged for 7-8 hours from 0-100 while a regular one does for aprox 2.5hours on original 1.5A charger. Then why battery endurance increases significantly? Doesn't that mean saving cycles? Better lifespan? :)

Your web site is just ... moreDude I, own XA1 plus from the launch date and when my phone charges in qnovo mode ( I hope you know that Sony can charge battery in two modes, but the second mode only works when it adapts to your long hour and repeating charging cycles). If you had a charge not in regular schedule, the battery care will have to adopt to a new sheet of battery stats, which can take days before that mode goes on charge again.. So the magic key of this is like you in real life, going to sleep the same time everyday makes a huge difference to your own energy resources.. Its just decently stable.. I should finish up here, so to sum up my XA1 plus battery lasts twice when charged in battery care mode vs regular charge.. Thats real experience, lifespan is another thing, but I think this is a good example that this mode does it job really great when established :)
