Now I heard much about these terms USB C-type cable, A-A cable, Lightening cables. All said that they charge mobiles fast. what diff between them Is they work for all the mobiles or work with any specific. If mobile charges quickly with these Is it sustain longer, It's life time won't effect. Please give some suggestions on it.

Don't think about the cable -- think about the phone.

For example, Lightning cables only work with Apple devices. If you want an iPhone, you aren't going to have a choice. And whether or not a phone with USB-C cables charges quickly depends on what the phone manufacturer supports. The HTC 10 and LG G5 have the latest quick charging features, for example, while the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P don't.

In other words: buy the phone you want.

The 6p and 5x do have quick charging features via USB-C (5v @ 3a with the included charger). Just not Qualcomms' QuickCharge standard.

Yeah, that's why I was trying to be careful with language. They do fast charging, just not to the same level.

I've seen some reports that Google avoided QC3 in the 5X/6P because of concerns that it didn't properly support USB-C.

Edit: Of course, Qualcomm denies this.
