Samsung ATIV S finally gets an in depth hands on video [Fixed]

We're not sure where GSMArena managed to become a Samsung ATIV S, especially with no obvious handlers interfering, just they did and they have a nice iii-minute video tour of the phone. The video has some fantabulous production with ample light, allowing united states of america to finally see the long missing Samsung Windows Phone.

The video as well highlights what should exist obvious: that 4.viii" Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 2 is quite massive and non in a bad way. The device is clearly super thin (past comparing to other Windows Phones) but just a monster in terms of how big the view is on information technology. For some users, that's clearly a selling signal and we could only imagine how nice it must exist type on such an ample on-screen keyboard.

Tiny Elvis says: "Human being check out the size of those Tiles...man that sucker is huge"

The rest of the device is quite standard from what nosotros've previously seen with a heavy focus on plastic for the body, simply we don't think that deters from the device in whatsoever way. But clearly some of y'all take strong opinions on that (versus the more robust polycarbonate trounce).

Windows Phone viii also gets demonstrated a bit in the video though we can't say any new features leap out. Nosotros're not aware of what build of the OS it is running, though it is presumably either final or shut to it. One thing is for certain, that OS hauls pretty well when beingness pushed by that dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU and with that huge 2300 mAh battery on board, nosotros're certain the ATIV South will exercise quite well in the ability department.

Unfortunately, Samsung has yet to either secure or announce whatever Us partner carriers for the ATIV Due south. We're not certain what Samsung'due south strategy is exactly for Windows Telephone 8, but so far information technology seems as if they just don't have 1. (In case you're wondering, Samsung has never once reached out to this site regarding this phone and has so far shown very little involvement in the Windows Phone customs).

Recently in a Windows Phone Primal reader poll, only five% of y'all were seriously because the ATIV S over other Windows Phone 8 devices. Part of that is due to the lack of carrier data simply a lot of it has to do with perception of the company. That's a shame as this video conspicuously shows the ATIV S, while not for everyone, is a sharp looking telephone.
