Fast charging is quickly becoming a standard in high-end smartphones, but now there are several different fast charging “standards” on the market ─ Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, OnePlus’ Dash Charge, and Motorola’s Turbo Charging, to name a few. This creates an interoperability problem and Google is not so fond on the practice.
In a newly released Android Compatibility Definition document issued for Android Nougat, the company now says it’s “strongly recommends” that device makers don’t support proprietary charging technology that modifies voltages beyond standard levels, or otherwise creates “interoperability issues” with standard USB charging.
