Use Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Over USB Type-C with the SoftBank SELECTION USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter

The SoftBank Group has a large market share in Japan's telecom industry, and through their SoftBank SELECTION brand, also sells mobile peripherals such as the USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter. This charger can be used as a replacement power supply which supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology over USB Type-C to keep your phone charged, and is targeted towards phones that SoftBank carries like the Sony Xperia phones which support Quick Charge 3.0 technology over USB Type-C. 

We see how the SoftBank SELECTION USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter looks like after purchasing from Amazon Japan. The packaging has a very distinctive SoftBank look.

The SoftBank SELECTION USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter uses a USB Type-C cable connector to provide fast charging using Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology to any of the many USB Type-C phones that support Qualcomm Quick Charge. The packaging shows that it supports the following power profiles- 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps), 18 watts (9 volts @ 2 amps), or 18 watts (12 volts @ 1.5 amps). As a comparison, other Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 enabled chargers like the Ventev Wallport rq2300 Wall Charger offers the same power profiles but only uses USB Type-A. Supporting only 18 watts of charging, this is enough to work with many USB Type-C phones in the market today that use Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology.

It's interesting to see that the SoftBank SELECTION USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter was made in the Philippines by Mitsumi.

The SoftBank SELECTION USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter comes with a 1.5 m long tethered USB Type-C cable for plugging into a compatible phone.

With a compact and lightweight body, the SoftBank SELECTION USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter makes for a travel friendly AC power supply which should be able to work with a lot of the smartphones as well as tablets out there that support Qualcomm Quick Charge based charging over USB Type-C.

We'll be doing a series of reviews showing how the SoftBank SELECTION USB Type-C Fast Charging AC Adapter works with various USB Type-C devices that support Qualcomm Quick Charge, USB Power Delivery, and other charging technologies.
