Well look here, it’s the first Windows Phone 8 handset to go official. Samsung’s Ativ S has all the trimmings of a premium smartphone, including a 4.8-inch 720p disdplay, a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and a slim design with an aluminum chassis. Other specs include 1 GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, 16 GB of storage and a microSD slot. Basically, this is the Galaxy S III’s guts with a new design and Microsoft’s operating system inside. Works for me.
