Qualcomm Quick Charge, OnePlus Dash Charging or Motorola TurboCharging?

To fully charge a phone normally takes 1 to 2 hours, but who has time for that? A phone with fast charging can give you enough power to use it for several hours after only a 15- or 30-minute charge.

It's a big selling point for phones lately and several companies have entered the fray with names like Qualcomm Quick Charge, OnePlus Dash Charging and Motorola TurboCharging. (Qualcomm just announced that its upcoming Quick Charge 4.0 technology can power a phone for 5 hours after a 5-minute charge.) But how fast do these fast-charging phones really charge?
