Samsung just unveiled a new smartphone bound for South Korea dubbed the Galaxy Round last week, but it looks like it may just be a prototype and produced in extremely limited quantities which makes sense given the confused reactions it received on announcement.</div>

While it won’t hit mainstream, Samsung claims there are a few advantages to a curved display. The company highlights a new feature taking advantage of the curves called “Round Interaction.” This feature allows the user to glance at key information like missed calls, the date, and battery life when the sleeping phone is tilted on a flat surface. Samsung also points out that navigating through Touch Wiz’s home screens will feel like one smooth, continuous motion. Improvements to the gallery and music applications have been implemented with unique tilt and tap centered interactions.</div>

Along with the innovative screen tech, the Galaxy Round features some awe-inspiring hardware. It’s a svelte 7.9 mm thin and weighs a petite 154 grams. It also takes some notes from the Note 3 and gives us a leather-esque plastic backplate.</div>

On the camera side of things, the device acclaims a 13-megapixel sensor on the back and a 2-megapixel shooter on the front. It has tons of camera software goodies that Samsung loves so much such as Sound and Shot, Animated Photo, and Eraser Mode.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On paper, performance should be excellent because the device features a quad-core Exynos processor clocked at 2.3GHz, 3 GB of RAM, and the latest version of Android, 4.3 Jelly Bean. Atop of Google’s Android software, the device is skinned by the Samsung-created TouchWiz UI which brings oodles of software features such as Samsung Smart Scroll, Air Gesture, Air View, and Samsung Smart Pause.</div>

The device comes with 32 GB of onboard storage and is expandable via MicroSD. It has our usual set of standard connections, like Korean-optimized LTE, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth 4.0.It also features USB 3.0, which is often overlooked. USB 3.0 allows for significantly faster charging and data transfers when paired with a compatible cable. All of this is powered by a respectable 2,800mAH battery. So what do you guys think? Do you agree with it being just a prototype, or are you genuinely interested in it? Let us know with a comment below!</div>

Intel Delays Production of Broadwell Chips until 2014

<img alt="2013-10-16-image-1" class="post-thumb wp-post-image" height="400" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/2013-10-16-image-1-610x400.jpg" width="610" /><br />

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Intel has run into a bit of a setback on the development of their new “Broadwell” chip design, pushing the production date of the chips a quarter further away from their originally planned time frame of Q4 2013.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Current chips in development had density defects that were affecting the processor’s performance, and the usual fixes for this kind of issue did not lead to the levels of performance Intel was hoping for.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While new fixes have now been made that do address the Broadwell’s problems, the time it has taken has lead to the current delay, which all things considered isn’t that far back from most people’s initial estimates of the processors wide release, looking to now be around Q3 of 2014.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Broadwell is a smaller version of the current Haswell design, sizing in at a micro architecture of 14 nm, which is the smallest ever produced. It’s worth noting that while these issues have slightly delayed the release of Broadwell, Intel claims that this has had zero influence over the development of “Skylake”, the current project name for Haswell’s proper successor.</div>

Today, Apple took the stage in Cupertino for their Fall event. According to the event’s invitation, Apple “still had a lot to cover”, which I feel they delivered on. Much like last year, this event refreshed nearly every product in Apple’s various product lines, other than iPods. Let’s get into the details of what was announced today.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Software Releases</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Like we all saw coming, Craig Federighi talked about their latest version of OS X, dubbed Mavericks. Since Apple gave us a pretty in-depth look at their last event, none of what they showed today was new information, other than pricing and the release date. After talking about features such as improved memory management and better dual display support, Craig announced that for the first time, Mavericks is going to be a free upgrade! This is a big deal that makes it very easy for any consumer to be updated to the latest operating system, going all the way back to Snow Leopard. Basically, if you see that App Store icon on your Mac, you can update to Mavericks for free. In addition to it being free, it’s also available right now! A direct link can be found by clicking <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-%20mavericks/id675248567?mt=12" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; border: 0px; color: #2255aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">right here</a>. This is a big deal for Apple, and will not only make adoption of Mavericks higher than ever before, but also make their users happy. Bravo, Apple.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another big thing that Apple really focused on today was not only updating their consumer software, but to also make it available to the masses like never before. The entire iWork and iLife suites of apps have also been updated, including Garageband, iMovie, Pages, Keynote, among others. The user interface of these apps have been updated for both OS X and iOS to look more modern, and new features have been added. One of the bigger improvements from a technological standpoint is Garageband. Apple has doubled the amount of tracks to 16 for any iOS device. What’s really fascinating is that for any 64-bit iOS device, they allow up to a whopping 32 tracks, all of which can be playing simultaneously. This is a tremendous amount of data, which really helps showcase the power of a 64-bit architecture, even on mobile devices.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Apple also updated their iCloud service, focusing most on documents in the cloud. Users now have the ability to collaborate on their documents within iCloud, which is a very big deal to a lot of people. People such as Alex Lindsay from Pixelcorp rely on this type of collaboration within their organization, but Alex personally hates Google Docs, as it’s not great for visual documents. This gives Google some serious competition for the first time in this area. A nice touch is that because this can be a web-based, Windows and Linux users have the ability to edit these documents as well. Personally, I can’t wait to give it a try, in hopes that I can put Google Docs behind me.</div>

As usual, Apple’s biggest announcements were all about hardware. After all, Apple prides themselves on being a hardware company, right? The first hardware announcement of the keynote was the MacBook Pro line. Both the 13” and 15” models received updates today.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">MacBook Pro</strong></div>

<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 13” MacBook Pro has gotten faster, lighter, and thinner, per usual. The notebook is down to only 3.46 pounds and a mere .71” thin, and packs Intel’s latest, fourth- generation Haswell processors. These processors will bring not only a nice performance bump to these machines, but also improved battery life, as they consumer less power than the last generation Ivy Bridge processors. On this processor is also Intel’s latest ‘Iris’ graphics. Apple boasts an increase over the HD4000 graphics of Ivy Bridge of up to 90%, which is great. One of the popular complaints about the previous Retina MacBook is lag, which is directly related to graphics. These new onboard graphics should, in theory, reduce the overall lag, and allow the user to do more without having a dedicated GPU taking power. With these changes in mind, the battery life has increased over the previous generation from 7 hours up to 9 hours; very nice! Apple gave the 15” MacBook with Retina a similar treatment; Haswell processors with Iris graphics, complete with an increase to 8 hours over 7. The 13” starts with 4GB of memory, a 2.4GHz Haswell Core i5 processor, and 128GB of PCI-e based flash storage for the price of $1299, which is $200 less than the previous model’s introductory price. The 15” MacBook Retina starts with a 2.0 GHz Haswell Core i7 processor, 8GB of memory, and 256 GB of flash storage for the price of $1999; once again, $200 lower than the previous model. With that price aside, there’s no dedicated GPU in the baseline 15” model; only the Intel Iris graphics. This is bothersome to quite a few people, as most of the people buying this computer have serious work to get done, which requires a lot of graphical horsepower. It’s too early to tell how the Iris graphics will hold up to applications like Final Cut Pro and the Adobe Suite, but we’ll find out soon enough.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Probably the most-anticipated hardware announcement today was the legendary Mac Pro. This desktop hasn’t received a true update in years, and today, Apple finally delivered. Just like Mavericks, we did receive a sneak preview of this desktop a little while back, but today, we were given much more detailed specs. This desktop focuses on Apple’s two most important features at the moment; raw computing power, and power consumption. This desktop is going to pack the latest Ivy Bridge-E Xeon processors in 3.7 GHz quad-core, 3.5 GHz hecta-core, 3.0 GHz octa-core, or even 2.7 GHz deca (12)-core models.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In addition to having the latest processors, this machine will also come with dual FirePro graphics cards at every configuration. Despite having this much GPU power, the</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Page 3">
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
amount of video memory is what’s going to change. At the quad core level, there will be 4GB of video memory (2GB per GPU), 6GB on the hexa-core model, 8GB on the octa- core model, and a whopping 12GB on the top of the line model. A better way to think about it is that there’s 1GB of video memory for every core the system has. The Mac Pro will also have PCi-e based storage, configurable with up to 1TB of space (256GB, 512GB, or 1TB).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-22-at-8.02.54-PM.png" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; border: 0px; color: #2255aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-10-22 at 8.02.54 PM" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-8400" height="369" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-22-at-8.02.54-PM-1024x620.png" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 10px; transition: opacity 0.5s; vertical-align: baseline;" width="610" /></a></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In terms of memory, the Mac Pro still start out with 12GB of memory, and is configurable up to 64GB. Personally, I feel that this is a little low, considering that even a socket 2011 PC can handle up to that same amount right now , and in some cases, even more). If Apple want this desktop to last as long as the previous Mac Pro did, I feel that they need to increase this limit. In a day & age of memory-intensive applications, being able to keep that information in memory instead of having to go out to the disk is more important than ever, regardless of the speed of that disk. Not only that, but Apple restring the memory limit depending on the model you purchase. For example, if you buy the quad-core model, you can only upgrade to 16GB. This is definitely a bad move on Apple’s part, as this is a machine that already isn’t very upgradeable. As this is likely just a simple check in the firmware of each model, I can already see the firmware hacks.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The starting price isn’t necessarily cheap, but then again, you can’t expect it to be. Not only do these desktops pack a ton of power, but this is Apple we’re talking about here. That in mind, I’ll just come out and say it; the Mac Pro will start with a price tag of $2999. For that price, you’ll get the 3.7GHz quad-core, dual FirePro GPU’s with a total of 4GB of VRAM, 256GB of flash storage, and 12GB of memory. Of course, all of this is contained within that truly revolutionary cylindrical enclosure. Be sure to let us know if you’ll be investing in this machine (or why not) in the comments below!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPad</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Today, the forth generation iPad was replaced with the “iPad Air”. This is an iPad that has a lot of the internal specs from the iPhone 5S, with an all-new enclosure. This is Apple’s fastest and thinest iPad to date,which is a big deal to a lot of people. The iPad Air packs that same 9.7” retina display, but the enclosure it sits in has been completely re-done . The bezels have shank by nearly 50%, making the screen pop out a lot more over the previous generation. This also makes it easier to hold and carry around, as the overall surface area is now smaller. The iPad Air has also shaved 1.9 mm from the thinness of the previous model, going from 9.4mm to a mere 7.5mm. These changes alone will make a lot of people purchase this iPad over the iPad mini, in my opinion.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Inside, the iPad Air has the same A7 chip that the iPhone 5S has, which means that the iPad Air is now a 64-bit platform. This is great for developers to make true, desktop- class apps. This also drastically increases the speed of day-to-day tasks, such as taking pictures, editing those pictures, or even just opening applications. Included with that A7 chip is also the M7 co-processor, whose sole purpose is to monitor motion. The iPad Air also has dual antennas for the Wi-Fi, making sure that you always get the fastest, most reliable connection possible.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="337" src="http://images.apple.com/ipad-air/features/images/hero.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s; border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 10px; transition: opacity 0.5s; vertical-align: baseline;" width="590" /></div>

<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Unfortunately, there wasn’t an upgrade to the cameras of the iPad Air, meaning that it’s still the same 5 megapixel back and 1.2 megapixel cameras with the same sensors as before. With that said, the performance of these cameras will increase drastically with the new processor and better onboard graphics. The iPad Air starts off at the same price as the previous model; $499, which gets you 16GB of flash storage, in addition to all of the new features.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s worth stating that Apple keeping the iPad 2 around. Personally, I think this is a questionable move on their part, as I was hoping they’d keep the iPad 4th generation around instead, resulting in a full-retina 10” iPad line. With that said, I see the need in academic institutions or even business organizations for a low-cost, reliable iPad.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPad Mini</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The iPad Mini is also one of the biggest upgrades that people have been waiting for, ever since the first generation Mini was announced. The main reason for this is because of the lack of retina display up until now. Apple has brought the iPad Mini into the world of retina, which pleased a lot of people, myself included. Apple held off so long because they didn’t want to affect two things; performance and battery life. Apple waited a year for their technologies to improve, and have now delivered on adding the retina display. this 7.9” display now has the same amount of pixels as the 9.7” iPad Air, and has the same 326 ppi pixel density as the iPhone 5S; very impressive!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The iPad Mini also got the addition of the A7 processor and M7 coprocessor, which makes for a drastic increase over the previous generation. Much like the iPad Air, the cameras haven’t changed over the last model, which could be something they’re saving for next year. The iPad Mini’s body is almost the exact same dimensions as the previous model, except that it’s .3mm thicker, and weighs 23 grams more. This is to be expected when adding the retina display. This also happened going from the iPad to to the iPad 3rd generation when it’s retina display was added.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="201" src="http://images.apple.com/ipad-mini/overview/images/display_hero.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s; border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 10px; transition: opacity 0.5s; vertical-align: baseline;" width="646" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Unlike the iPad Air, the pricing of the iPad Mini did change. The addition of the retina display and much faster CPU performance resulted in a $70 price increase, bringing this 16GB base configuration to $399. This seems steep, but keep the perfomance:size ratio in mind here. Apple is also keeping the first generation iPad Mini around, and dropping it’s price to $299 from $329. I feel that this is a good move on their part, and may end up making more of a dent in the budget tablet market than it did at it’s initial price.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">

For an upcoming Sotheby charity auction to help benefit Product (RED), Apple has designed a one of a kind, red Mac Pro. The radically red desktop was designed by Jony Ive, Vice President of Design over at Apple, and Marc Newson, another on the Apple Design Team.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Product(RED), styled as RED, is a global charity foundation aimed to help fight aids. RED is brand-licensed and is currently partnered with iconic companies such as Apple, Nike, and Starbucks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to the auction site, the value of this Mac Pro is estimated to be between $40,000 to $60,000. Like the rest of the custom-designed products on the auction site, it will be auctioned off on November 23<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">rd</span>. We’re not sure, however, if the crimson Mac Pro will be ready to ship to a lucky taker’s house on the 23<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">rd</span> because Apple isn’t ready to launch the Pro until December.</div>

The exact specifications are not up on the auction site, but the standard Mac Pro has a base price of $2,999. The entry level Mac sports a 3.7GHz quad-core Intel Xeon E5 CPU, dual AMD FirePro D300 GPUs, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of PCIe-based flash storage. The higher end machine will rock a 3.5GHz 6-core Intel Xeon E5 CPU and starts at a pricier $3,999. Apple has also included additional configurations to the Pro allowing for an 8 or 12-core Xeon E5 CPU, AMD FirePro D700 GPUs, up to a whopping 64GB of RAM, and 1TB of the same PCIe-based flash storage.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the past, Apple has paired up Product(RED) exclusively for their iPod line of devices. It is pretty awesome to see the two companies fight AIDS together with a Mac and is great for both of them. However, since it will cost up to $60,000, we better see the higher end components in this crimson-kick-ass beast.</div>

Nokia Debuts Lumia 2520 Tablet & Lumia 1520/1320 Phablet Smartphones

<img alt="Nokia-Lumia-2520" class="post-thumb wp-post-image" height="400" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Nokia-Lumia-2520-610x400.jpg" width="610" /><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nokia, a company that once dominated the mobile industry, has experienced a rapid slow-down of sales in the past few years. The truth is, Nokia’s recent devices have failed to compete with offerings from the likes of Samsung and Apple.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nokia’s mobile department recently was bought out by software-giant, Microsoft. October 22<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">nd</span>’s Nokia event held in Abu Dhabi marks the beginning of a potential fortifying relationship between the two. At the event, two “phablets” running Windows Phone and a tablet running Windows RT were announced.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lumia 2520 is a full-size Windows RT tablet. From a design standpoint, it represents a larger Lumia smartphone. The 2520 is available in red, white, cyan, and black and these colors really make the tablet “pop.” The tab features a full 1080p display on 10.1-inch panel. Performance is still something many question on a Windows RT device. Microsoft’s first crack at today’s tablet game with the Surface RT didn’t go so well. Application bugs and slow performance plagued the device, but Microsoft fixed up these issues in the Surface 2.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lumia-2520-nokia-world_opt.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; border: 0px; color: #2255aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="lumia-2520-nokia-world_opt" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8406" height="525" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lumia-2520-nokia-world_opt.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 10px; transition: opacity 0.5s; vertical-align: baseline;" width="700" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This same level of expertise is seen here with the 2520. There’s a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU running the show here and the device is far from feeling slow. Windows RT has many benefits like full access to desktop Office apps and Nokia takes advantage of RT by including what they call a Power Keyboard. It adds a keyboard and track pad, similar to what is seen with the Surface 2, but also includes some extra goodies. There are two USB ports and an extra reserve for battery life that should add five hours of juice, making for a total of sixteen hours with the keyboard and eleven without. The Lumia 2520 also features LTE connectivity as well as a 2MP front-facing camera and a 6.7MP rear-facing sensor. The device will be ready for consumers’ hands before the end this year for $400.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Two new Lumia smartphones were also announced. Except these aren’t your average Lumia phones. They’re “phablets” and they’re called the Lumia 1320 and the Lumia 1520.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lumia 1520 is the higher end smartphone here and features a 6-inch 1080p screen. The 1520 retains Nokia’s design philosophies, with a glossy and colorful polycarbonate case. Being a “phablet”, however, means the device is one behemoth of a cell phone. It’s 3.36 inches wide, 6.4 inches tall, 0.34 inches thin and weighs 7.37 ounces. Windows Phone has always felt fluid; even with lower end hardware, but jam specked specs should make for an even better user experience. The 1520 features a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU paired with 2GB of RAM.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/nokia-lumia-1520-1-20131023133037.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; border: 0px; color: #2255aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="nokia-lumia-1520-1-20131023133037" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8407" height="384" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/nokia-lumia-1520-1-20131023133037.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 10px; transition: opacity 0.5s; vertical-align: baseline;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We’ve seen specs like this on Android phones, like the Galaxy Note 3, and they perform extremely well. Camera-wise the Lumia 1520 is rocking a 20-megapixel variant of Nokia’s PureView camera technology. It is basically a lower-resolution version of the 41-megapixel PureView senor on the Lumia 1020. It has optical image stabilization (OIS) and the awesome retainment of clarity while zooming. Instagram, a popular photo sharing application available for Android and iOS, is coming to Windows Phone in the coming weeks; so that’s a big plus for photo enthusiasts. The device should land before the end of the year and is going to go for around $749 unlocked. In the U.S., the device will be exclusive to AT&T. However, Verizon is expected to launch a variant of the 1520 known as the Lumia 929 this year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lumia 1320 is the second jumbo-screened from Nokia. However, it’s a lower end device with the purpose of providing a big-screened smartphone experience at a price that won’t lighten your wallet too much. It suits up with a 720p display instead of a 1080p display and takes it down a notch to a dual-core Snapdragon 400 CPU. The 1320 also contains a scarce 1GB of RAM and drops the fancy PureView camera in exchange for a standard 5-megapixel shooter. The Lumia 1320 is going to be avalible in orange, yellow, black, and white. The device, like the 1520, is expected before the end of 2013 in U.S. and is only $339 unsubsidized.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1200-nokia_lumia_1320_group.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; border: 0px; color: #2255aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="1200-nokia_lumia_1320_group" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-8405" height="456" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1200-nokia_lumia_1320_group-1024x767.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 10px; transition: opacity 0.5s; vertical-align: baseline;" width="610" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
These new products from Nokia are a step in the right direction for the company. The Lumia 2520 looks to compete with budget laptops and other tablets in its size range. The Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 look to join the “phablet” race and are the first Windows Phones to do so. Additionally, Microsoft and Nokia have added some software tweaks to enhance the Windows Phone experience on a larger, “phablet” display. The 1520 provides high-end specs and a flagship status while the 1320 proves you don’t have to break the bank for a good “phablet” experience.</div>

ASUS Adding NVIDIA’s G-SYNC Support to Future Monitors

<img alt="gsync-monitor-key-visual-1000x654" class="post-thumb wp-post-image" height="400" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gsync-monitor-key-visual-1000x654-610x400.jpg" width="610" /><br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Asus recently announced that it will now be employing NVIDIA G-SYNC in all of it’s new monitors, which is a pretty big deal for Nvidia gaming fans.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
G-SYNC makes it so that the Monitor’s refresh rate is synchronized with the GPU’s rendering rate, meaning that images are displayed at the exact moment the GPU renders them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This gets rid of of various display problems in a lot of games like screen tearing or stuttering without the use of performance hampering settings like V-sync.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Basically it’s all of the good when it comes to smooth visuals with none of the bad. Asus plans to incorporate G-SYNC into it’s monitors beginning in 2014, with the first planned release being an upgraded version of the VG248QE at a price point of $399 in the first half of 2014.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Review Feat. MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Edition

<img alt="JH6A8806" class="post-thumb wp-post-image" height="400" src="http://www.techoftomorrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/JH6A8806-610x400.jpg" width="610" /><strong style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The GeForce GTX 760 Gets Unleashed</strong><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another week means yet another launch for the folks at NVIDIA and this time we start getting into the really affordable side of things, as the new GTX 760 makes its debut. Gaming cards that are at this price point usually sell very well due to that fact that many more a buyer can shell out a couple of hundred dollars in comparison to paying the premium price that comes with getting one of those cards. The thing is, and users will appreciate this, is that at resolutions of 1920 x 1080p, everybody is competing to be the best bang for the buck card and this translates into saving at the counter and cards that will perform just fine for many gamers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
NVIDIA has the brass ring in some areas, and if things like CUDA, Advanced PhysX and the new NVIDIA GeForce Experience , which keeps everything up to date as far as drivers and game patches are concerned, there is only 1 player in the game. Another thing is that if you are an avid Adobe software user the NVIDIA cards offer better support and performance than the AMD series of cards due to the technology NVIDIA uses in their design. AMD cards can however do PhysX, it is just strictly run off the CPU and not the GPU and a standard, not advanced PhysX solution. The new GeForce GTX 760 is the latest of the 7 series cards to hit the market and there will be both reference and non-reference cards available. This launch there will be many partners making non-reference based products, which is good news for the gamer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">

We were able to get a hold of a few different models to show you fine folks on launch day via various means both written and video. The reference designed card looks just like the previous generation 6 series cards and offers the same black shroud single blower fan design that they have been using for quite awhile now. We will show you in today’s morning review both the NVIDIA reference designed card as well as the MSI Twin Frozr version that is based on a non-reference design and you will be able to clearly see the differences in how the cards look. MSI has made a solid name for themselves via the Twin Frozr lineup as their after market cooling solutions are know to work well at keeping your card cool even with the card overclocked and pushed to its maximum capabilities. Lets first take a visual look at the 2 cards and how they vary from each other in just about every way.</div>

The reference card is what it is and with this launch and I do not see too many companies just slapping a sticker on it and calling it a day.</div>

I cannot say that no companies will as I am sure we will see a few hit the market, but they will also be at the lowest price point and only geared for very moderate beyond factory spec overclocking.</div>

The MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Edition features an open-air design that dissipates and then blows the heat away from the GPU into the system and relies upon your systems airflow to get rid of the hot air away from the computer itself.</div>

The card has a color scheme of a Ferrari, but with a Dragon for the emblem design as seen in the center of the card. There are 2-fans on the top of the card hence the nomenclature Twin Frozr and underneath the fans we can see the aluminum heat fins that work in conjunction with the copper Heatpipes to take the heat away from the GPU. MSI is now using a direct to copper connection to help improve the efficiency of the cooling system.</div>

On the bottom side of the MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Edition you can see the heatpipes and the aluminum cooling fins that make up the cooling solution of the card, which is entirely different than the design used on the reference designed card from NVIDIA in every way.</div>

The PCB of the MSI card is also different and sports a root beer brown color in respect to NVIDIA’s solid black design.</div>

Another difference between the two cards is the power requirements needed to power them, as the NVIDIA reference model has dual 6-pin power connectors, while the MSI Twin Frozr has an 8-pin and 6-pin connection. The MSI card is 100% aimed at the overclocking crowd and is right out of the box overclocked and cooled to remain stable even when pushed beyond standard specs.</div>

MSI has gone beyond reference design specifications to bring a better GTX 760 to the table and the cooling and high-end Military Class 4 components set it apart from the reference design by a wide margin. Both cards have the same PCIe 3.0 interface as that is something that remains the same throughout all of the cards and both share the same rear output connectivity. Almost every card I have seen in the last few launches from NVIDIA have featured the same output layout of 2 DVI, a standard DisplayPort and a standard HDMI connection. They’re are some benefits however that I must in all fairness discuss, and that is using aftermarket liquid cooling solutions. If you plan on using a liquid cooled system most of them are built around the reference designed card as that usually all the available specs that those companies have at launch day and making a kit for every company usually does not happen.</div>

There is usually not too much of a variation on the basic design of the cards component list and the changes we usually see are in the company that manufactures the parts and the cooling apparatus used to cool the card down. Speeds and feeds only change in how fast one element or another is clocked on different manufactures cards.</div>

For the reference card, we were only able to get the Boost speeds that were available at the temperatures that the card ran at. GPU Boost 2.0 works differently than the 1.0 solution does as GPU Boost 1.0 works off a power target that is limited when compared to 2.0 that uses the cards GPU temp to determine the Boost capability.</div>

The reference card ran between 75-81 Celsius locking at the Boost clock of 1033MHz. Being that the reference card is a plug it in and forget about it solution the Boost clock although modest is still pretty fair.</div>

The MSI Twin Frozr Gaming Edition card however has a much better cooling solution that keeps the card running much cooler in all circumstances and showed between 18-20% better cooling than the reference card. The card comes overclocked out of the box, but we were able to increase the card by 100MHz and get an easy better overclock than the reference card by quite a decent margin and being able to obtain a Boost clock of 1241MHz with temps only at 66 Celsius leaving a lot of additional headroom to push the MSI card much further before getting into dangerous temperature zones.</div>

MSI also has their patented and very well loved After Burner overclocking software GUI that allows real time adjustments to the different aspects of the card. Things such as voltage as well as fan rotation speeds plus clock and memory parameters can all be adjusted within the After Burner GUI. We left everything, but the core clock speed at its default state and only increased the core clock by 100MHz for a very quick down and dirty overclock. With the MSI card running as cool as it did with a little more tinkering I am sure much better results could be obtained by someone really wanting to push the envelope. I will increase the voltage and see how far the card will go in another article, for now the results looked pretty damn good.</div>

Many of the time when we test video cards we see an average of usually around 10-20 FPS difference between the reference models we test and this card showed on average the same results.</div>

The cards were able to beat the overclocked HD 7870, but were a bit slower than the 7950GHz Edition, which consideration should be taken, as it was an overclocked GHZ and not a standard 7950 card from the AMD camp.</div>

All the games were ran high or better settings with the AA turned on and the card showed no problems at 1080p gaming and showed decent scores even at a resolution of 2560X1440 that shows the GTX 760 has some balls and is a solid contender at the price point it is aimed at.</div>

Even the latest and most demanding game titles can be played on the GTX 760 and if SLI scaling goes as well at is should we should see a 25-100% improvement in performance per added card.</div>

AMD still wins in Open CL, but there are more Adobe applications out there than programs that use Open CL, so in the desktop environment. NVIDIA is continuing to fill the gap as far as card variations go and now have real gaming solutions coming in at more affordable price ranges. You can see from the benchmarks that the GeForce GTX 760 has enough power to play your favorite games with FPS, which in average beat anything within a $50.00 difference in price making the GTX 760’s a very appealing product SKU.</div>

I have to say right off the bat in my conclusion that I was very impressed with how well this card did in gaming, especially in the higher 2560X1440 resolutions where the card was not even really aimed to be played at.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We all know that at 1920X1080 is where this card is targeted at and for the price range it does one hell of a bang up job playing all the latest titles with ease and many of them at their highest setting as well.</div>

NVIDIA wants to stay very competitive as seen by this release and its price point of $249.00. The GeForce GTX 670 can be used either for SOHO productivity or gaming and is an all around well-rounded solution that offers better performance in Adobe applications due to its CUDA core technology that accelerates the performance in many software programs.</div>

The reference card was almost silent even when playing games and the cooling ramped up as the card compensated for the heat so the acoustic aspect of the reference card is solid in that department as well as having lower power requirements, but it ran at max of 81 Celsius.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The MSI Twin Frozr card also runs very silent and had a much better GPU Boost as at stock setting we saw a maximum of 61 Celsius in temperature and with 100MHz Boost we saw a max temperature of 66 Celsius, which leaves plenty of headroom for much father overclocking.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
BecauseGPU Boost 2.0 goes by the GPU temperature the better the cooling the better the Boost and from that we saw a maximum Boost clock speed of 1241MHz. MSI has done an excellent job with their Twin Frozr cooling solution that offers a minimum of nearly 20% better cooling than the stock cooling of the reference designed card.</div>

For those gamers who need to stay in the under $300.00 price range the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 is a very interesting product to put in your minds eye as it offers solid gaming at 1080p resolutions as well as accelerated performance in video editing, and other applications that many use in their daily life.</div>

MSI has taken an already robust design found in the GTX 760 and taken it to the next level by adding the Twin Frozr cooling solution that works much better than your reference designed cards by quite a margin. Using higher than spec parts and designing their own cooling worked out very well for MSI as the card gives overclockers chance to push the card far beyond what the card comes shipped already at 1020Mhz with Boost of 1085MHz (Reference Card Is Clocked at 980MHZ W/Boost at 1033MHZ).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The new GeForce GTX 760 is really just replacing the 660 Ti, but at $50-$60 cheaper and a bit faster overall as was to be anticipated and if you are not really interested in serious overclocking a reference card may do you fine, for others there are cards like the Twin Frozr Gamin Edition card that is well worth the small price difference in my eyes. At the end of the testing week, the GeForce GTX 760 reference wins a Top Value Award and the MSI Twin Frozr wins an Editor’s Choice for its design, overclocking headroom and cool running capabilities.</div>
