Look forward to Samsung's first Windows Phone 8 device called Samsung Ativ S


Samsung comfirms their first Windows Phone 8 device, Samsung Ativ S will arrive before the end of the year. Unveiled at the Windows Phone event in October, the Ativ S features a similar 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display as seen in the flagship Galaxy S3 smartphone, although it only has a dual-core 1.5Ghz processor.


At Microsoft's launch event for its new mobile OS, the phone's 4.8-inch AMOLED display certainly helps to make the most of those colorful tiles -- this time around a higher resolution (1,280 x 720) screen kept everything looking sharp. Aside from the screen, the hardware doesn't pack a unibody build, but it does offer the power user both a 2,300 mAh battery and the microSD slot -- a combination that's looking pretty rare among debut Windows Phone 8 devices.

We're getting our fill of all things Windows Phone 8 today and the ATIV S gives you exactly what you'd expect from Microsoft's new UI. We spent some time using Internet Explorer, reorganizing and resizing tiles and the 1.5GHz fares well with the OS' initial offering. Oddly, it looks like the app selection is still missing some key titles that already exist on Windows Phone 7, but Samsung's made its own efforts, with preinstalled apps running the gamut from the useful (ChatON) to the less so (Samsung's own Music Hub).

At the moment, it's the only Windows Phone 8 device we've seen so far from the Korean electronics maker and we're still waiting for the company to confirm a release date, but if you liked what you saw from the Galaxy S III, the ATIV S might just be the one for you.
