News & Reviews:   Samsung ATIV SE specification

While we probably will never see this metal backed Samsung ATIV SE here in Malaysia, it is interesting to hear about it. While details have been hard to come by asides from a press render from @evleaks and that it may have a 5-inch full HD 1080p display, some news has come out about other tech specs. This includes that it will likely be following a higher-end Samsung Galaxy S4 version. This sounds a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+ which includes a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and 13MP rear camera along with Windows Phone. Despite it being an older Galaxy S4, These tech specs still make this an up-to-date smartphone though with a release date expected in April 2014. Don't expect any Malaysia release dates or pricing though, as this is probably tied to Verizon (US) only.

We've always liked metal-clad Samsung smartphones, perhaps because most Samsung smartphones are made from plastic, but it seems that they may soon come out with a refresh of the Samsung ATIV S. Asides from being one of the few Samsung smartphones with a metal backside it is also one of the few Windows Phone 8 smartphones from Samsung as well. Leaked by master leaker @evleaks, the new Samsung ATIV SE looks to retain the same brushed metal backside as before but has some upgraded tech specs as well. These tech specs include Windows Phone 8.1 and 4G LTE along with a full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution screen. So far, it looks to be just a Verizon-only phone, so it probably won't have a Malaysia release date or pricing here. Still, stay tuned for the latest updates.
