What is Samsung playing with Windows Phone?
Samsung is a word that we must already know a lot, in 2 years the company has managed to take off in the smartphone market significantly thanks to the Android operating system. And its terminals are of a respectable quality and always more than meet the expectations of users. Now if we bring this to Windows Phone, it's a totally different story
Samsung was one of the first to launch terminals with Windows Phone 7, and to be honest they weren't bad at all (I personally have a Samsung Omnia 7 and I'm very happy with it), however, when it arrived Nokia to market you could see what kind of effort companies were putting into the operating system.
Windows Phone 8 was rearing its head, and Samsung was the first to present its Samsung Ativ S terminal. Since then there have been a number of quite mixed comments. Is the terminal good? Yes, Was it what was expected? No. A within a few days HTC and Nokia had their moment and the Samsung Ativ S was forgotten for quite some time.
Personally I think the same Samsung forgot about its terminal, after that there was no marketing campaign or related news, this gave As a result, eyes were 100% on HTC and Nokia products. It is obvious that terminals like the HTC 8X or the Nokia Lumia 920 capture the attention of users.
But then, what is Samsung&39;s goal in Windows Phone 8? Well, to tell you the truth I think they just want to be there>"
And there were no expenses for it either, and the distribution of the terminal is quite poor, since it only went on sale a few weeks ago (while the HTC 8X and Nokia Lumia 920 already have more 1 month on the market), it even seems that the arrival in Italy has been delayed to January 12, 2013.
So, Should we buy the Samsung Ativ S? The reality is that the Samsung Ativ S even though it doesn't have a big It is a great and robust terminal, although it has a sober and unremarkable design, internally it has good specifications and things like the screen and the expansion of the internal capacity by means of a Micro SD card are things that must be taken into account.
Now, if what you are looking for is careful attention when it comes to support, exclusive applications or a more aggressive and interesting design, you should turn to an option from HTC or Nokia, as both companies have shown great interest in Microsoft's new mobile operating system.
Meanwhile, Samsung's future with Windows Phone is pretty quiet, and unless Windows Phone manages to eat up a lot of market share Bigger enough for Samsung to invest in, things will most likely stay that way, with handsets doing the job and the occasional new thing being released at some random time of the year.
What do you think, Would you like to see more attention from Samsung on Windows Phone? Will you buy a Samsung Ativ S?.
