The Samsung ATIV S delivers a similar textured silver finish to the Galaxy Note 2, but with a lighter color. This usage pattern will affect battery life and the perception of what features are useful. On the “apps” side, we have a couple of social networks (FB, G+), a receipts manager (not available on WP8) and random apps (<20), but we rarely play games or do something super-intensive like video editing. We don’t call much – maybe 10mn a day, if at all. We browse the web several times a day to check on news sites, but rarely watch movies or play music.

We all use smartphones differently, so it’s important that we tell you what we do with our smartphone(s): we typically check email often with the built-in email app (via Microsoft Exchange), and reply moderately because typing on the virtual keyboard is tedious. We will compare it to other Windows 8 phones, and we will tell you how it stands against the Nokia Lumia 920. In this review, we will test the Samsung Ativ S in real-world conditions and look at the most important aspects of the phone. However, the Lumia 920 has great advantages of its own, including the low-light camera and exclusive Nokia software.

The ATIV S main advantage over the Lumia 920 is its light weight and its compact form factor alongside its larger 4.8” display. On the market, this smartphone is going head to head with the Nokia Lumia 920, the Windows Phone 8 current flagship, and the HTC 8X, which delivers a slightly lower build-quality than both contenders.

The ATIV S gets the same 4.8” 720p display and the Snapdragon S4 processor as its Android-powered alter ego. The ATIV S is the first Windows Phone 8 device released by Samsung, featuring quite the same hardware specifications as the Galaxy SIII and the look of the Galaxy Note 2 in a smaller and lighter chassis.
