This phone battery needs just 1 minute for a full charge, and it should debut next year
One of the most annoying smartphone-related chores is having to charge on a daily basis — or even more than once a day, depending on your usage.

While many devices can get you through the day, plenty of others can’t, and smartphone makers have yet to figure out how to continuously improve smartphone performance and decrease phone thickness while still offering a decent battery life.

A great Google Now feature I’ve been waiting for was just added by Google
Google Now is easily one of my favorite mobile services. In fact, it’s probably one of the best things to happen to mobile devices in years. The service serves a number of different functions, but the easiest way to describe it is this: Google Now gives you information you need… before you even know you need it. I use Google Now constantly on my Android devices and on my iPhone, where the service lives inside the Google Search app.
Google Now is packed full of fantastic features, but there’s one simple one in particular that I have been waiting for — and now it has just been added.
