Samsung Ativ S Neo review

Samsung's ATIV S Neo won't win converts from Android or iOS. But it has an excellent screen for a mid-range phone and good battery life, easily making it the best Windows phone available on Sprint's network.

If you’re on Sprint and are specifically looking for a Windows Phone, the Samsung ATIV S Neo is a better option than the HTC 8XT, largely because of its higher-resolution screen and better battery life. And while it requires an extra $50 initial...

Samsung ATIV S review: the Galaxy S III, repackaged for Windows Phone 8

Samsung was one of the first to join the Windows Phone parade with the Focus, and was quick to follow up with devices like the Focus S. It's been

Expandable storage ; Swappable battery ; Slim, comfortable design ; Solid camera performance

Samsung apps are hit and miss ; WP8 app selection still weak

Samsung has built a quality Windows Phone 8 device that's worthwhile for those who need expandable storage. It's a solid handset, but also the least exciting of the three current WP8 flagships.

Samsung Ativ S review: A fresh start

Microsoft's campaign is underway across the board with Windows 8, RT and WP 8 and all eyes are now set on Redmond's allies for a demonstration of fire power. Following some early warning shots from Nokia and HTC, Samsung are now free to fire at will.

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; Quad-band 3G with 42 Mbps HSDPA and 5.7 Mbps HSUPA support ; 4.8" 16M-color Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen of 720 x 1280 pixel resolution ; Scratch resistant Gorilla Glass 2 display ; 8 megapixel autofocus camera...

App catalog falls short of Android and iOS ; Competition has quad-core Krait CPUs already ; Costs more than the Galaxy S III SIM-free ; No system-wide file manager ; No voice-guided navigation ; No music player equalizers ; No lockscreen shortcuts

Samsung Ativ S Neo (Sprint)

The Samsung Ativ S Neo is proof Windows Phone shopping doesn't have to start and end with Nokia.

Good camera. Sharp UI free of Samsung's usual feature-itis. GSM-compatible.

Slow LTE. Limited Windows Phone app selection.

Conclusions If your smartphone use is more about the Web than apps—or if you habitually check your social-media presence, something WP8's live tiles excel at helping you manage—the Ativ S Neo makes for a good call. It also offers a virtue absent from...

Samsung Ativ S Neo review

Features-wise, the Samsung Ativ S Neo sits in the center of Sprint's lineup, neither the high-end, high-priced smartphone on the premium side of spectrum, not the entry-level smartphone trying to keep it all together. A mass market phone like this...

Samsung's Ativ S Neo is an attractive Windows Phone 8 handset with a large screen and more native camera extras than other Windows phones.

The Ativ S Neo is slow, heavy, and has a weak image quality.

Though it's an unexceptional smartphone overall, the middle-of-the-road Samsung Ativ S Neo is a safe choice for those who shop by price.

Lightweight and slim ; Large display ; Physical Windows key

Samsung's additional software ; Speaker is tinny ; Windows Phone app ecosystem

More details emerge with Samsung's WP8 phone, the Ativ S (hands-on)

Though the Ativ S boasts a dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel camera, and Microsoft's newest Windows Phone 8 OS, Samsung has no plans to bring it to the U.S. yet.

Review Samsung ATIV S Smartphone

A new star in the Windows sky. Samsung offers a direct competitor to the HTC 8X and the Nokia Lumia 920 with the ATIV S; all three devices run Windows Phone 8. Where are the small but subtle differences and can it ascend to the Windows Phone 8 throne?

Good build quality and low weight, HD Super AMOLED Display, Completely smooth operating system, High quality camera, Removable battery, Storage extension via micro SD card, Long battery runtime, The main camera produces very good pictures and can...

Retail price: 549 Euros, Small scope of delivery, The app variety is still small - we are spoiled by the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. The Samsung ATIV S cannot change that

Samsung ATIV S Review

This Samsung ATIV S Review looks at nearly all aspects of this smartphone, including its design, photography, performance and battery life.

The ATIV S features a great build-quality in a lightweight chassis and delivers extensive battery life (including with Location ON) and powerful performance. Unless you are attracted by the state-of-the art camera and the unique minimalist design of...

Samsung ATIV S Neo Review

Not content to dominate the Android market only, Samsung has ported over the basic of their winning formula to the Windows Phone platform in the form of the ATIV S Neo. The ATIV S Neo, now available on Sprint, borrows heavily from the Galaxy design...

Large 720p display that performs as well as it looks

Poor call quality ; Uninspired design ; Performance issues at times

With all Windows Phones running nearly identical software and Microsoft employing strict hardware minimums it can be challenging for manufacturers to differentiate their products. Nokia has already chosen to focus on the camera, and HTC is producing...
