Fast-charging technologies deliver more power (watts) to charge batteries faster. Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0, announced after QC 2.0, is designed to be up to 38% more efficient and four times faster than standard chargers. It uses Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage (INOV) to let the device determine the optimal power level. Many smartphones available in the Philippines, like the ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe and BlackBerry KeyOne, featured QC 3.0.

In 2017, Samsung revealed plans through its SDI subsidiary to use solid-state batteries (SSB) in its Galaxy smartphones in the future. An executive indicated the technology could be mature enough in one to two years. Solid-state batteries, which use solid properties instead of liquid, are considered safer and less likely to explode compared to traditional Lithium-Ion batteries.
