Samsung s WP8 based Ativ S in India soon


Samsung unveiled its Ativ S, the world's first Windows Phone 8 smartphone, during IFA 2012 in August. Now, it seems that the device, which is still to launch anywhere across the globe, is headed for India.

Ezoneonline, the ecommerce portal from Future Group, has listed Samsung Ativ S in its mobile phone category. Though the site does not give any pricing or launch date details.

The WP8-powered smartphone is listed as 'Out Of Stock', though the site says that the delivery period is within 7 to 10 days. For those interested in the cost of the device, the website says "Price On Request" and they can provide their name, email address and mobile number.

Samsung Ativ S has a 4.8-inch SuperAMOLED touchscreen, same as the Galaxy S III, and runs on the Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system. The South Korean manufacturer has used a 1.5GHz dual-core Krait processor with 1GB RAM in the phone.

Ativ S will be available in 16 and 32GB variants, and will support microSD card of up to 32GB capacity. The smartphone has an 8MP rear camera with flash and a 1.9MP front camera. It comes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, 2G, 3G and microUSB 2.0 as connectivity options. The world's first Windows Phone 8 smartphone will be powered by a 2,300mAh battery.

Samsung has always given priority to India while launching its mobile devices, such as Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy Note 10.1. Therefore, it is possible that the official launch of Ativ S in India may not be too far away, though the Windows Phone platform has not exactly picked up in the country.
