According to myself, they are compatible. There are lots of Chinese phones with both QC and type C.
I have a Chinese power bank, with QC 3.0 input and output, and it has a micro usb and a type C input.

QC2.0/QC3.0 on the same connector/port as a USB-C connector means the connector is breaking USB-C specifications. That does NOT mean it doesn't work, just means it does not meet specifications. If you want to play it safe, avoid unless its a reputable brand. This is the first i heard of Udiolabs so really i wouldn't consider it above an unknown brand @ Amazon. Only difference is costco has a better return policy vs amazon (but really for a charger, return is the last thing i'm worried about...).

The information should still hold true. Benson is mostly famous because he's a google employee who decided to buy and test cables/chargers/etc from amazon (using his own money) and posting that information online. Basically someone who works in the area who decide to run tests on consumer products so his site was popular and often referred to. He hasn't done nearly as much testing or posting lately tho (nothing wrong with that, since he's doing this in his own time).

Basically devices can state support for QC3 and type c but it does not mean the device meets usb-c specifications. If you want to play it safe, you're better off using PD vs QC. QC still will work, you are just operating out of usb-c specification. That does NOT mean it won't work... just some prefer to stay within specifications.

It seems the 2015 spec could not restrict 2017 phones, here is some other examples.

LG G6 and Samsumg S8 SD835 version support QC and type-C

Again meeting specifications is not a requirement... its like a guideline. Just like cables inside your walls should meet CL3 specification but cables that dont meet it works just fine... the only catch is there is a fire, you probably wish you used CL3 rated cables in your walls. Note how many times i said it will work/doesnt mean it wont work?

Do these have power delivery over Usb-c for fast charging? Not quick charge 3.0. How many watts output does it have?

You guys are mixing some stuff up. The USB-C *cable* can be used for both QC and standard usb 3 type c. Benson post says that both QC and usb-c cannot coexist on the same CONNECTOR. Meaning you can't have the same charger jack support usb 3 type C standard (with its quick charge) AND qualcomm quick charge. You can have multiple connectors where some support QC and some don't - most chargers like Anker do that. That means don't buy this kit if you don't have a qualcomm quick charge device you want to use it with and that it's not the best idea to use it with other devices. But the cables coming with it should be good for any purpose (assuming they are up to spec).

Confirmed. And lots in stock!!
I'm gonna try this charger with my oneplus 6 when it gets in. Probably not even close to dash charging but I'll give it a shot. Great deal for the price; 2x 6ft cables and 2 chargers. The cables alone are like 8 bucks on amazon.

Spec wise, it should work. That said i recommend a powerbank since you could always charge that while on the go and it creates a buffer for your switch (in the sense if this charger or another charger is bad, at least you only killed a powerbank instead of your switch).
