LG G4 – Specification update

Following my LG G4 First Impressions post https://gavinsgadgets.com/2015/04/28/my-hands-on-with-the-lg-g4-plus-first-impressions/ , I remarked that the LG G4 does not have Quick Charging v2, but simply a faster charge due to its 1.8amp 5V charger.

However, in a rather bizarre turn of events, LG has now contradicted itself and stated the following –

“As LG explains to us, while the company didn’t specifically engineer the G4 with the intent of it supporting Quick Charge, the system is built in to the phone’s Snapdragon 808 SoC in such a way that it’s fully functional in the finished G4.

While the power adapter the G4 ships with isn’t a Quick Charge-compatible unit, if you pair the phone with a suitable third-party Quick Charge 2.0 adapter, the G4 should be more than capable of taking advantage of its fast-charging tech.”

I find the above statement so bizarre as at the LG G4 launch I asked 4 separate people if QC2 was supported and they all said “no”.
