It's taken its time showing itself, but we finally get a first look at Samsung's first Windows 8 Phone: the ATIV S. At Microsoft's launch event, for its new mobile OS (Windows Phone 8), the ATIV S's 4.8 inch display really poped , with a higher resolution. It does offer plenty of power with a 2,300 mAh battery. It also has a micro SD slot, a combination that looking pretty rare among Windows 8 phone devices.
Along the base, the central physical button is emblazoned with Microsoft's new logo with the back and search capacitive buttons taking up the rest of the bezel below the screen. Flipping the device around, there is a brushed metal-style battery cover with a grill seperating it from the chin. At the top you will see a very familiar looking 8 megapixel camera, flash and loudspeaker.
The ATIV S gives you exactly what you want from Microsoft's new UI, Windows 8. The 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor fares well performance wise. We're still waiting for the company to confirm a release date. If you liked the Galaxy S3 but want the Windows Phone 8 OS, the Samsung ATIV S just might be for you.
