Its imminent arrival in Malaysia is already quite apparent thanks to a recent promo by Thunder Match and its appearance on SIRIM’s database but today, Samsung Malaysia has finally made it official: the Samsung Ativ S Windows Phone 8 smartphone is now officially available in our market. Even though the Samsung Ativ S is technically the first Windows Phone 8 device to be officially revealed to the world back in August last year, Samsung certainly took their own sweet time to release it in Malaysia.
Hardware-wise, the Samsung Ativ S is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chipset (the same on in HTC 8X and Nokia Lumia 920) which features a 1.5GHz dual-core Krait CPU and Adreno 225 GPU. Completing the hardware package are 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with 1280×720 graphics resolution and pixel density of 306ppi as well as 1GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage, 8-megapixels rear camera, 1.2-megapixels front-facing camera and 2300mAh battery.
The new Samsung Ativ S Windows Phone 8 smartphone is readily available at Samsung stores and authorized dealers throughout the country for RM 1,699 – just like what we have heard previously. Click on the Read More link to check out its full technical specifications.
First Windows Phone 8 in the world,
now release in Malaysia!
Hi Chap, I tested this at Subang Parade. like the physical home button and has a micro SD support. Just falls short from the Lumia 920 (which I’m using) but definitely better than the 820, double the internal memory, bigger screen size and lighter weight. Seems to have a better battery than the 920 too.
Interesting. Thanks for the feedback! 😀
