Samsung Ativ S

Samsung ATIV S Overview

The Samsung ATIV S was not only the first Windows Phone 8 smartphone to be officially announced, but is also the first Windows Phone to feature a dual-core processor.

The new desktop version of Windows will combine with Windows Phone 8 smartphones to offer better convergence across multiple devices than has ever been seen before. With devices such as the ATIV S, Samsung aims to be a part of that.

The Samsung ATIV S runs on a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, with 1GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. Unlike the previous iteration of the Microsoft OS, Windows Phone 8 also includes compatibility for microSD slots, one of which is included with the Ativ S and is compatible up to 32GB.

The simplistic metro design of the Windows Phone 8 interface is housed within the 4.8” Super AMOLED display of the ATIV S, which is equally simplistic in its design. It has s slim profile, measuring in at just 8.7mm thick and weighs in at 135g.

Samsung has been doing a lot to develop its camera technology in recent years and this results in an 8MP snapper being included with the Ativ S. Autofocus and LED flash are also included, as is a 1.9MP front facing camera for video calling.

Music and video playback compatibility are as you would expect for a new smartphone and the ATIV S also includes a 3.5mm port for headphones. In terms of connectivity there’s Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi direct, 3G and DLNA included, so you’ve plenty of ways to share various media types.

While there are not necessarily hardware features included with the Ativ S that will make it stand out from its Android competitors, its compatibility with the desktop version of Windows 8 gives it a different kind of sparkle to the range of smartphones that are already out there.
