| Samsung Ativ S |
Fresh from its victory in Japan against Apple,
Samsung has unveiled a first in its smartphone lineup: a mobile device
that runs on Windows Phone 8. The Ativ S was introduced during the IFA
in Berlin and has been viewed as a step towards Samsung’s future in
rejecting Android to avoid nasty and expensive patent battle against
Apple.
The Samsung Ativ S looks similarly to the Galaxy S III, the company’s
current flagship Android smarpthone. The Ativ S features a 1.5GHz
dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.9-megapixel
front-facing camera. It is 8.7mm thick, so thin Samsung called it a
“chic hairline design” during the unveiling.
The Ativ S takes advantage of Windows Phone 8’s latest features,
including support for NFC and a microSD card slot for expandable
storage.
This latest Samsung device will be available in 16GB and 32GB models. No release date has been confirmed.
