Battery technology has traditionally been the poor friend of other smartphone innovations, such as screen or camera technology, which makes Microsoft's rumoured choice to include Quick Charging a genuine incentive to buy a Windows Phone.
Both the 950 (codenamed Talkman) and 950XL (codenamed Cityman) are rumoured to feature large batteries, at 3,000mAh and 3,300mAh respectively, and even larger displays, at 5.2-inches and 5.7-inches. Keeping these displays bright will require a lot of juice and the IT Home article says that battery tests do not work in their favour.
The report suggests that Microsoft is also working to make Windows 10 Mobile less power hungry but in the meantime having a fast charging option could prove a real bonus.
Both devices are rumoured to feature a USB Type-C port which could contribute to the speed the devices could be charged. Samsung's version of Quick Charge, included on the Galaxy S6, requires a dedicated wall adapter and it will be interesting to see if Microsoft provides dedicated hardware.
The new devices are expected to be unveiled at an event held in October.
