Samsung ATIV S Revealed: Windows Phone 8, 4.8

Sorry Nokia, consider your thunder stolen. It hasn’t yet made an appearance at Samsung’s big IFA press conference inside the Berlin Tempodrom, but Samsung’s first Windows Phone 8 device has just been made official thanks to a post on Microsoft’s Windows Phone Blog. That device in question is the ATIV (EYY-tiv? Ah-TEEV?) S, a rather handsome new handset that sports a (sadly unspecified) 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing counterpart to boot. The spec sheet may not be the most riveting you’ll ever see – Windows Phone has never really required bleeding edge hardware – but the move puts the pressure on Nokia to unveil something tremendous next week.
