Samsung ATIV SE

For a few weeks we had been hearing the rumor that Samsung would return to the Windows Phone market with a new terminal, we saw some images, and just a few days ago we confirmed its release date and its technical specifications. But today, finally, the Samsung ATIV SE is becoming official.

From the images shown, it is clear to us the inheritance that this terminal receives from one of its brothers with Android, the Galaxy S4, the design lines are extremely similar although now with a back cover with carved metal appearance, which in reality is only an imitation made on the characteristic plastic that the company usually uses.

Technical characteristics

Of course, since we were betting on a design similar to that of its flagship last year, we expected that its technical characteristics would also be similar, and yes, to our surprise we will be the same five inches in its diagonal that are completed with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, its density will remain at 441 ppi.

The interior will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, with a 2.3 GHz quad-core processor plus an Adreno 330 GPU, the RAM memory is 2GB, and the storage is 16GB with the possibility of expanding via microSD, an already classic feature in the brand's phones.

The photographic section will include a thirteen megapixel sensor, we think that the same one included in the Galaxy S4, which will be made company with one on the front of only two megapixels.Other details are its 2600 mAh battery --with a promised 20 hours of autonomy--, as well as its Wi–Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac connectivity, Bluetooth, and LTE band 13/4.

About its operating system, as The Verge had already told us, it will not be the first mobile phone to be sold with the new version and it will remain with Windows Phone 8 with the latent promise that as soon as all users receive the update this terminal will also receive it.

Price and availability

We had anticipated that this Samsung ATIV SE would come as an exclusive for the American market, and more in detail with the US operator .UU. Verizon, and yes, this was fulfilled and today they are announcing that it can be purchased in that country from April 12 at a price of $599, or if we choose to make a two-year contract with 199 dollars we'll put it in our pocket.
