I would buy Samsung products if they didn't feel so cheap.

I got my wife the Lumia 822 and it's a great phone! Hopefully the Ativ will bring some Samsung fans to the WP8 side.

Please T-Mobile and Samsung....Nokia did us in with the exclusive deal. Do the right thing this time.

How it will stand against Flagship Like Nokia Lumia 920
...

looks like samsung will give it for free....

13. androidlikeaboss posted on 08 Dec 2012, 01:59 3 1

This is a good phone but I'm sorry, the Nokia Lumia 920 is better

14. shadez10 posted on 08 Dec 2012, 03:50 5 1

its kind of a bit too late sammy... -_-

Lumia 920 and HTC 8X are on the move already...

First off, happy looking pooch hanging out that window!! :)

Secondly, I do not understand the "it's too late" comments. WP 8 devices will be coming out for the foreseeable future. If Android can have all kind of follow ups, why on Earth would WP be any different? The ATIV S is just the next device. Nokia sure will have more in 2013, and if the 8S and 8X are successful so will HTC. I am glad Samsung waited to iron out whatever issues they felt it had. Now, it can launch with a little more spotlight on it as opposed to being lost in the shuffle.

its the WP flagship of samsung... they should have released it early or at the same time as the other 2 flagships from other manufacturer...

but anyway... Ativ is better than HTC 8X...

16. Mghazisohail posted on 08 Dec 2012, 05:55 2

the smartphone looks cool and it's also identical to it's big bro the gs3 but the lumia 920 beats it in many aspects!!!

17. Mghazisohail posted on 08 Dec 2012, 05:56 2

hope it's build quality is better than the gs3

22. cornerofthemoon posted on 09 Dec 2012, 09:37

According to all the early reviews the ATIVs at least feel like their built from better quality materials.

With a Quad core msm8960 L920 & Htc8 don't stand a chance

It's not quad core, all these flagship WP devices have to same specs, just different screens and designs.

HD displays
1.5 GHz dual S4
1 GB RAM

Samsung has no advantage in the WP world other than brand recognition.

25. darkkjedii posted on 09 Dec 2012, 14:22

When u say they don't stand a chance, what exactly do u mean? The people who own the phones just wanna use them, and the phones themselves have no idea what they have inside them. U make it sound like the phones r gonna joust, box, or do mma or something. Relax bro...they're just phones not rockem sockem robots.

19. kushki posted on 08 Dec 2012, 15:08

It could be a good phone in Android market being similar to GS3 and all where no Lumias are offered.... however when it comes to WP and compaerd against Lumia porducts, this is s**t....

23. cornerofthemoon posted on 09 Dec 2012, 09:41

I'm on T-Mobile so it's either the Nokia Lumia 810 or HTC 8X. Since every HTC product I've ever owned has been a lemon I'll get the Nokia unless Carly adds the ATIV to the T-Mobile lineup.

PA shud remove this thumb down button and facebook shud add this....

I have been looking more closely at this phone recently. I have an HTC Titan and love it, but of course in a few months will think about upgrading to WP8. I wasn't sure I would like the 4.7" screen, but actually love this phone. Solid build, actually pretty decent camera, and thin. What I am hoping, is the fabled Zenith, the third and flagship of the HTC 8s/8x line will arrive, but if not, giving this Samsung some serious thought. Imagining 32Gb with added MicroSD card. Some serious storage there.

While I agree the Lumia 920 is currently the top dog, I have heard it is a beast, considering it sports a 4.5" screen. With the larger screens, better to have a thin form factor. And the form factor of the 8x is gorgeous...what I thought the Lumias would be leaning towards. The only over-riding factor for the Lumia would be the extensive exclusive apps such as navigation and drive.
