One thing commonly associated with airports and holidays abroad are delays. Everyone has heard or been involved in a holiday nightmare where they or someone they know has been stuck in major queues at the airport as they get set to jet off to warmer climes. What people really want is to get to the airport and breeze through quickly, without delay, so that they can start their holiday stress free. This could become a realistic possibility thanks to a revolutionary new mobile app available for smartphones and tablets.
A new mobile passport app that has received official authorisation by US Customs and Borders protection is the first of its kind and is said to simplify the whole travelling process thanks to how it works. The app, known as Mobile Passport Control, is available to users of both iOS and Android based devices and has so far been downloaded over 1 million times by holidaymakers looking to get their vacation off to a great start thanks to less time spent waiting in airports.
The free app works by allowing the user to create a basic profile. The profile includes details such as the traveller's full name, date of birth, address, phot identification and passport information. This is all secured by a pin number that will ensure that no details can be stolen or misused at any point by a third party. A receipt is created by the application which is then used to show at border control, to save waiting time and queuing. The Mobile Passport Control app also means that the days of filling out customs forms are well and truly over as the app itself is enough to verify the traveller's identity and details. It's a truly revolutionary new way to travel; as long as it used in conjunction with advice from an experienced immigration lawyer, to ensure that all procedures have been covered.
The ease of use of the app and the fact that is can shave hours off of waiting times in some cases means it's extremely likely to appeal to the mass market who just want to get on their way as quickly as possible. Another method by which it saves holidaymakers plenty of time is getting from the plane and out of the airport too. Four questions are posed to the traveller about the journey that they are on, once all four are answered correctly they have four hours to get from the plane and out of the airport.
Airports around the world are fully aware of the delays that happen on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. With the Mobile Passport Control app already proving to be a huge hit in America, it's extremely likely that it will be adopted on a global scale, with the UK likely to be very keen on the idea. It's been over 10 years since Britain brought in the e-passport and these further advances in technology will not only benefit airports but also those travelling too. It's a sure fire way to ensure a great start to the holidays.

Samsung has now officially developed and patented the graphene ball tech which makes lithium-ion cells used in smartphones last a lot longer. As per reports, the utilization of graphene ball can not only make li-ion batteries last up to 45% longer, but it can also make the cells take charge up to five-times faster than before! To put that in a real world scenario, consider the fact that the Galaxy S8's 3,000mAh li-ion battery takes roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes to get fully charged from 0%-100%, but with graphene ball, it would take about 15 - 20 minutes or less to do the same! If that's not incredible, then we don't what is!
Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) was the division responsible for developing the technology, but that's no surprise since the division has been behind developing breakthrough tech for quite a while now. Another one of its recent successes include introduction of the cadmium-free Quantum Dot display tech used in Samsung QLED TVs. Does this mean that we will see the Galaxy S9 debut with unbelievably fast recharge times and incredible battery life? Not really! It's just a patent and there's no guarantee that grapheme ball will be ready by the time Samsung goes into mass production with the Galaxy S9.

Samsung might have been toying with the idea for a long time, but it was ZTE who beat everybody to the concept and released the world's first foldable smartphone Axon M. Now, it looks like Apple is planning to do something similar with their next iPhone. The US Patent & Trade Office has just received a patent request from Apple which contains the description, a smartphone that can be "opened and closed like a book." If that's not a foldable smartphone, we don't know what is!
In fact, it sounds just like what ZTE did with the Axon, but according to the descriptions, it won't be two separate displays attached together; there would be one single foldable display. It is unclear at this point whether Apple will be going with LCD or OLED for the foldable panel, because the patent covers both, alongside microLED. Check out a portion of the exact text within the patent below.
"An electronic device may have a flexible portion that allows the device to be folded. The device may have a flexible display. The flexible display may have a flexible display layer, a cover layer, a touch sensor interposed between the flexible display layer and the cover layer, a support layer, and a polarizer layer."
