Samsung ATIV S reportedly headed to Poland for September, one year after initial announcement

It looks like those in Poland will be getting a new Windows Phone to choose from come up September as evidently the ATIV S from Samsung is headed to market. The telephone, like the Sprint ATIV South Neo, is expected to be a minor refresh, possibly sporting a new chipset to support FM radio, Bluetooth 4.0 and Os build 10327 (GDR2).

The news comes via Samsung's own Twitter account for the Polish market place (Samsung Polska) and while pricing was not given, nor any updated specifications (if any), the time-frame of September 20th and the ATIV S model name was.

Interestingly, the ATIV S from Samsung was announced near one year ago in Berlin at the IFA and it is the merely flagship level Windows Phone from the company since that time. It seems articulate that Samsung will continue to limp along with the aforementioned model with minor hardware revisions for the foreseeable future. Certainly, that is the least that Samsung could do to go along its foot in the door with Windows Phone, possibly under contractual agreements with Microsoft, and it demonstrates that the visitor is not willing to invest more R&D into newer devices.

The flipside to that negative assessment though is that the fact that the ATIV Southward is an impressive offering both in terms of design and features. Information technology is one of the few conservative-looking Windows Phone 8 devices bachelor and with expandable storage, a removable battery and a large 4.eight-inch Super AMOLED display all wrapped in a calorie-free, thin body, it is quite the workhorse. In fact, there's niggling non to like about the ATIV S except for the fact it does non take the Nokia Collection.

Having said that, it may be a fiddling hard to become consumers excited for a device announced globally one year ago (ironically, Samsung was late to market place with the device too, offsetting actual market availability).

Speaking of the Sprint ATIV South Neo, that device is expected to go along sale in just over a week on Baronial 16th, though that date, pricing and final specs have non yet been confirmed.
