Update: Samsung’s “ATIV S” Windows Phone 8, and “ATIV Tab” leak online
Looks like a severe amount of Samsung leakage is happening. We just posted pics and specs of the unannounced Note 2, now their upcoming Windows Phone 8 device has leaked online. Previously known as the GT-I8750 “Odyssey,” Samsung will unveil the “ATIV S” – and probably release a ATIV Tab, too. However, the ATIV S will come with all the rumoured specs: 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, 1.5Ghz dual-core processor, 8MP camera and a 1.9MP front-facing camera, 1GB RAM. Taking a look at the image it seems like the ATIV S is really slim.
No other details were listed. Samsung is also expected to come out with a mid-range WP8 device, currently codenamed the “Marco.”
Update: An image of the Samsung “ATIV Tab” has now found a space online. As expected this will run Windows 8, have a 10.1-inch display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 5MP rear camera and 1.9MP fron-facing camera, USB and HDMI ports, and is only 8.9mm thin with a weight of 570 grams.

Pfft… not this time.
Windows Mobile / Pocket PC phones did the slick Candybar long before the iPhone changed from the bloated Jellybean. And it was more the OS issues that truly sunk Samsung, and iOS looks stale and old compared to Windows Phone; No worries here.
Apple didn’t invent the smooth Candybar.. problem for Samsung was they didn’t either and didn’t know where to point the judge/jury (other than the failed Sony ref), HTC, Siemens Fujitsu and Toshiba might have an argument for body form, but Apple would lose in any action against this platform.

What’s the point of getting a Samsung Windows Phone? Their specs will be the same as everybody else but their build quality blows. Save yourself a plasticky piece of junk and get Nokia or HTC

HTC is as boring as Samsung is plastic. Just get a Nokia and you cannot go wrong.

That sure is some sexy brushed-aluminum looking “plastic” there.
Though I’m still looking more forward to the Nokia Phi.

I like the look of Win8 but will wait and see what HP, Dell, Nokia, Asus, Acer,…release their Tablets then I’ll make a decision which one to buy. I love Win8 preview on my ALL-In-One Touchscreen.

HP and Acer will probably not release any Windows 8 phones or tablets.

From the front, it is definitely S2 inspired. Given how well that worked out for them with the S2, I have to assume Samsung execs are retarded.

That was more a software issue than a hardware one. The S2 was a damn sexy design, and it’s cool to see it getting a WP8ified update.

Actually it seems a bit more Galaxy Nexus-like in my personal opinion (check out that rear, the Nexus has a similar chin)
But meh, why couldn’t they make it look more like an SIII

4.8? Jebus Christ!
I can’t see myself going above 4.3, maaaaybe 4.5, if I really stretch it, but 4.8 is a bit too much for my normally sized hands.

I have to agree. I have the 4.3″ SGSII and my small hands can just barely hold it in landscape. When I first got it, people were laughing at how it was too big for my hands.

@stan10: i have small hands and the galaxy s iii can easily be used with one hand for me. (im 5″4′).
and i really like the grey look that samsung’s been going for recently. blue, grey, and white look extremely good on phones and beats plain black anyday./

You must look a little strange to have such a small frame with such monstrously large hands. Girls probably love you though

I can’t wait for these to hit the market!
Android lost me when they stopped supporting flash. My phone doesn’t open most websites now and my tablet I have never found very useful. Really excited about Windows 8 devices.

You’re not the only one wishing that IPhone actually looked somewhat attractive. A more or less same design for 6 years and counting. I would be sick and tired of looking at that brick year after year as well!
Thankfully, I go for quality phones at a reasonable price, and am smart enough not to fall for hype and marketing stunts, so no Apple for me

To all the morons saying that Samsung will be sued by Apple for this phone, unlike Android Microsoft has a cross-licensing deal in place that protects the designs. So if you want a phone that won’t be in question, definitely buy this! I think it’s gorgeous!

This is a SGS3 with half the RAM. It’s better than what is was (WP7.5 devices were just pathetic and outdated), but Windows Phone is still trailing on the hardware front.

Not if you know anything about the platforms.
WP8 can do more with less resources. The Mhz / GB debate is pretty pointless if it takes you more resources to do the same tasks. Would I still prefer and eficient OS on a more powerful device, of course we all would; but don’t try to compare the two based on specs alone, it’s not the same, and will likely perform better than many phones that mistakenly appear to be better equipped, when it’s their OS acting as a boat anchor.
Still think it’s what shoulda come out with Nokia’s re-launch into the space, but finally something close to what was promised in the original WP7 platform.

This makes the SG3 look like a plastic dog. Plus I suspect we will be even more wowed by Nokia on Sep 5th.

Not for now, but it might be added before it makes its Canadian debut.
