Introduced alongside Samsung's Ativ Windows Line up, Samsung presented to us the Samsung Ativ S.
Samsung Ativ S is probably the most premium looking windows phone in the market. The design screams business class and this is one phone you will be proud to be seen with.
The Samsung Ativ S although uses the same body language as the Samsung Galaxy S3, but it is less curvy around the edges and uses a different finish than the S3. Both these aesthetics worked in the favor of the Samsung Ativ S as they managed to give it a premium look that is ever-ready to impress.
The Samsung Ativ S boasts a 4.8 inches Super Amoled HD screen which gives it a pixel density of 306 ppi. The images on the display appear sharp and vibrant with excellent contrasts. You cannot go wrong with Super Amoled screen on a windows phone as they put life inside those tiles!
The Samsung Ativ S runs on Windows Phone 8. Here is the UI in action:
The Samsung Ativ S runs on a dual-core Snapdragon chipset accustomed by 1 GB ram and Adreno 225. These specs will ensure that your windows experience on the Samsung Ativ S remains a memorable one!
The Samsung Ativ S comes equipped with an 8 MP shooter on the back. The camera is undoubtedly amongst the best 8 MP cameras available in a smartphone.
