Here, we offer an analysis with photos, videos and reviews of the new Samsung ACTIV S, one of the pieces that would captivate the public for the remainder of the year ...
Design and Display
The Samsung ATIV S is a device that keeps a design very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 predecessors, since it retains the metallic look of some terminals Samsung. In any case, we have to talk about a phone that complies with dimensions of 137.2 x 70.5 x 8.7 mm and weighing 135 grams. No this is a phone too heavy or of considerable size, but the fact is that it is a wide device, especially considering that the screen is quite wide. It is possible, in this case, particularly like the phone to customers who want to experiment with the new operating system Windows Phone 8 and that in turn, are demanding when choosing a smartphone. If Samsung does not state otherwise, the terminal could be made available in a single color, metallic gray or silver, because at the moment there have been no images of a device in any other color.
And we go for the screen, one of its most interesting features. In fact, this privileged ATIV Samsung S has a Super AMOLED HD screen up to 4.8 inches, with a maximum resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels.

But that's not all. Because the phone also has Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP and GPS with A-GPS and Glonass, the tools that we wonder if we will use a GPS in the car or if we intend to take advantage of applications that require location services. Beyond this, we have to announce that the Samsung ATIV S incorporates a chip NFC (Near Field Communication) that will allow users to start testing this - still unpublished - to transfer technology for short-range content, plus DLNA certified technology send media files from one device to another.

Camera and multimedia
It could be one of his strong, in fact, it seems that this function could captivate more of a skeptic. We refer to the Samsung camera ATIV S. Korean firm, with oversight of Microsoft, has decided on this phone include a camera with eight megapixels sensor, allowing us to obtain quality images at 3,264 x 2,448 pixels . But that's not all. Because the really interesting part of this camera is its autofocus and geotagging features, complementary to the shooting and interesting to better benefit your snapshots.
