The Samsung
Focus 2, the latest Windows Phone offering of Samsung and AT&T, was
introduced during the CTIA 2012 recently.
The
LTE-enabled smartphone will cost around $50 with a two-year service contract
with the mobile service provider. The Samsung Focus 2 will be available in the
market by May 20. The all-white slim design of the device suitably contrasts
with the bright colors of the Windows Phone OS.
The Samsung
Focus 2 features a four-inch Super AMOLED display, the Windows Phone 7.5 OS of
Microsoft, and supports the 4G LTE network of AT&T.
The
slightly-rounded chassis of the Samsung Focus 2 is similar to the design of the
first version of the device although this recently-unveiled model has its own
distinctive features.
Some
industry watchers have indicated that the display of the latest smartphone
offering of Samsung is adequate enough for running applications and surfing the
net despite the fact that it is smaller compared to other devices that were
released into the market recently
The Samsung
Focus 2 also features a five-megapixel camera at the back that is capable of recording
720p HD videos aside from taking decent pictures. The device also features a
VGA camera in front that can be used for video chatting. The Samsung Focus 2
also has a shutter button, similar to other Windows Phones.
Among the
apps loaded into the Samsung Focus 2 include the AT&T Navigator, the
U-Verse Mobile application, the SkyDrive cloud storage, the MS Office Mobile,
Bing Search and the Xbox Mobile.
Some
industry watchers were not surprised with the introduction of the $50 Samsung
Focus 2 as it adds another Samsung device in the lineup of AT&T. The latest
smartphone offering of Samsung appears to run smoothly according to an industry
watcher as it did not show any signs of freezing or stalling.
The Samsung
Focus 2 may be the first Windows Phone that is priced under $100 as industry
watchers expect more devices to be unveiled within the year.
