any info on the "quick charge"?

So I got my VIVO XL yesterday, charged it, and used it for one cycle all the way to 1%. I have to say, the battery life was amazing on that first cycle and I was impressed. Phone on time was 15hr 11mins, screen on time was 6hr 41mins, all this on my first charge and at 50% brightness.

I was excited that the battery was at 1% and couldn't wait to use the "quick charge" to see how "fast" it would charge since I never had a device with "quick charge capabilities" before. So I plugged it in, and timed it, what a major disappointment.

Here are the results(phone plugged in at 1%):
1hr @ 43%
1hr15min @ 51%
1hr 30min @ 62%
1hr 45min @ 71%
2hr @ 79%
2hr 15min @ 86%
2hr 30min @ 90%
2hr 45min @ 93%
3hr @ 96%
3hr 15min @ 97%
3hr 30min @ 98%
3hr 45min @ 99%
3hr 56min @ 100% FULL CHARGE

4hrs to charge a phone:eek:

Anyone else experience this. This took longer to charge than any device I ever used/tested/played with. and is totally unacceptable. There is no information anywhere as to what this so-called "quick charge" is. When I first plugged it in to charge, it said something about check this box for DU quick charge. What is that? It said I had 18 minutes of quick charge available.

I did some digging around, and the device is supposed to be supplied with a 9V/2A quick charger, I was supplied a 5V/2A charger. I sent an email to BLU in reference to this issue. BLU might owe us all new chargers:silly:
