Compatible chargers for XZ? - USB Power Delivery & Quickcharge 3 with QNOVO - Chrome 60W Charger

eineke — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:09:13 GMT

Super excited as I just got a new XZ and one of my favorite features is the first-for-Sony USB C charging port. Though, I'm a bit confused by the charging options. My phone is charging super duper slowly, but it's staying cold; so I take it that means all the new charging features to extend battery life is in effect. I do have Battery Care enabled, despite having a consistently-inconsistent sleep schedule.

I have a Chrome 60W charger from my Pixel that seems to charge the phone pretty slowly. This is what it looks like and here's the Google Store page with all its details.

So a few questions…

Is my phone ok? Should it be charging faster with the Chrome charger?
Does the XZ support USB C Power Delivery? As specified by the Chrome 60W charger page
What should I look for when buying a new USB C cable and AC adapter? Only QC3 support? Or Power Delivery adapters?

Thanks! Love my XZ.

Its a new device, it will learn your habits, it will charge slowly in the first few days, once it fully understands your habit of usage/charging, everything will be normal. My phone charges from 20%-75% in less than 30 minutes now, in the start, it took almost an hour for the same. Do not worry, it will learn you and then adjust accordingly !

Thanks. I started doing some more research. Looks like the phone does not support Power Delivery and the UCH12 is the adapter to use—which is also not available. The US plug is nowhere to be found on Sony's website, Amazon, Ebay, or Google Shopping…

Kinda feel jipped—but that's the current state of Sony Mobile in the US.

Thanks. I know there's a bunch of 3rd party ones on Amazon… but I'm a bit hesitant to order from those unknown brands. I'll definitely look that one up.

Anker has chargers as well. How about cables? Are there any requirements to get QC3.0 to work?

I was looking at those. They have one that's QC3. I see no reason why their cables aren't compatible since they have all these fast charging options.

Anker, Anker, Anker

They are amazing and high quality. I cannot reccomend their chargers and batteries enough. I've been buying from them for years to myself and occasional gifts. I'm backpacking around the world so there's always some jerk who steals chargers/cables/batteries so I have to replenish often (curse them to eternity).

Thanks for finding out the XZ doesn't support USB-PD. That's what brought me here. Anyway, buy a QuickCharge device from Anker on Amazon. You won't regret it.
