Meet the ATIV S, a new Windows Phone that’s part of Samsung‘s new line of Windows products. It’s the first smartphone to be unveiled that will run Windows Phone 8, the latest smartphone OS from Microsoft that will launch with Windows 8.
The phone has typical smartphone specs. Samsung says it’s designed for “work and entertainment,” with a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display. It packs a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM, and it’ll be able to connect to HSPA+ 42 networks (such as T-Mobile’s), though no word on LTE connectivity.
The ATIV S has an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash in back and a 1.9MP camera in front. It’s equipped with Bluetooth 3.0, NFC (near-field communication) along with assisted GPS and its Russian counterpart, Glonass. It also boasts the same “tap to share” ability that Samsung put in the new Galaxy Note II.
It comes with either 16 or 32GB of storage. No word on availability, but it would have to be after Windows 8 launches on Oct. 26. A U.S. launch will probably come later.
