Nokia may get most of the attention when it comes to Windows Phone 8 these days, but Samsung isn't staying quiet as its very own Microsoft OS-powered smartphone heads to AT&T.
AT&T announced that the Samsung Ativ S Neo will be added to its product mix beginning Friday, November 8, the first Windows Phone 8 device the carrier will sell from the Korean manufacturer.
Available for $99.99 with a two-year agreement or $21 per month for AT&T Next customers, the Samsung ATIV S Neo features a spacious 4.77-inch HD display powered by a 1.4GHz dual-core processor.
Perfect score
"We are excited to add the Samsung Ativ S Neo with its large, sharp 4.77" HD display and expandable microSD memory to our best-in-class Windows Phone portfolio," said AT&T Senior Vice President of Devices Jeff Bradley.
Despite being available on Sprint for more than two months, AT&T touts the handset's sleek design, coupled with Windows Phone 8 and AT&T's 4G LTE network, as an ideal match for mobile customers.
Samsung's latest Windows Phone 8 handset also ranks high on AT&T's eco-rating system, scoring a perfect five out of five for environmentally responsible manufacturing and energy efficiency.
AT&T's press release makes no mention of pre-orders, so customers eager for the Ativ S Neo may want to saunter over to their nearest retail store bright and early two weeks from now.
