But already we've got a number of Android smartphones and even a couple tablets that support the new technology. This is going to be a big deal in 2015, especially as there are so many phones that don't have removable batteries.

Note: Based on our time with a Korean LG G Flex 2, that device appears to charge quickly with other QC chargers, in addition to LG's branded "Fast Charger." But to date no LG phones are on Qualcomm's official listings.
