LG V30 Smartphone Is First to Incorporate Qi Wireless Fast Charging Technology

LG’s flagship V30 smartphone is the first to incorporate Qi wireless charging Extended Power Profile (EPP) based on Integrated Device Technology wireless power chips, said LG and IDT in a joint announcement Monday. EPP is said to enable safe, wireless fast charging capability, while remaining compatible with existing Wireless Power Consortium Qi 5W baseline transmitters commonly used today, they said. The chips reduce wireless charging time by up to 30 percent, said IDT. Additional features of the phone are an F1.6 aperture glass lens, OLED display, high-fidelity digital-to-analog converter and sound tuning by B&O Play. The chip's 32-bit ARM M0 core architecture has allowed LG to optimize wireless charging performance and charging speed, they said.
