For many waiting 3-6 hours to recharge a phone is a big nuisance with the newer USB 3.0 able to charge up-to 4 times faster.
Currently, the compatibility list is not huge but continues to grow with more devices available with fast charging as new models are released.
Quick Charge USB 3.0 is backward compatible with Quick Charge 2.0 so even if your phone doesn’t currently use the technology you may still benefit and be ready when your devices are upgraded.
All phones will come with a dedicated power supply so using a QC 3.0 power station is not necessary but is very convenient in many scenarios.
With that in mind here are our picks for the best fast charging 3.0 stations.
In full disclosure these units have been sent to us from companies to review which we have done with our own honest opinion and results.
As always be sure to read the reviews on Amazon or elsewhere to be sure a unit is a good fit for you.

Summary
If you have a smartphone able to fast charge than having a power source other than the OEM power supply is a nice thing to have.
Since USB has now become the standard to charge most all small electronics having more ports the better especially in a home with many people.
If you are simply looking to get a USB power station than getting a unit with QC 3.0 would be good for any future upgrade to your home electronics.
Rapidly charging your devices is coming more and more common as most all of us dont always have the time for the old slow charging times.
Keep in mind slow charging will give a much longer battery life so be sure to use it when possible. Most rapid charges will only give 70-80 percent of what a slow charge can give.
