A wonderful gift

The Ativ S leaves me with a split impression: a low price you get a hardware device with a high-bred Super Display, 16GB memory plus a (Micro) SD card slot. The camera is not bad, and the test of Stiftung Warentest, the Ativ S hit all Windows Phone competition from the field (Lumia 920/925, HTC 8X). On the other hand Samsung has left very very very much time with the update, now it's back up to date. Whether it gets Windows 10, no one knows. Also, Samsung bekleckert not just trying to deliver apps with added value. Who is keen should resort to a Lumia. However, there is Nokia's navigation app Here even in the Plus version, so you can store offline maps here.

Here you get today only remaining and in this case it was an Italian Ativ S. That does not matter, because you can adjust the German language. Only with the rollout of updates you have to wait for the Italian release. This can happen even faster or even later than for the German version.

The gifted person uses it as a replacement for a broken Gone iPhone 4 and is excited. I must say though, that she knew what she was getting, since you may well complain when changing from a Apparmut iOS. However, new devices (4S, 5) then also are significantly more expensive than this Samsung.

Those looking for a low-priced former high-end phone, which I put the Ativ S fond of, because it for under 200 EUR still offers a lot of technology for this money and can also be brought up to date. If there is no update to Windows 10, you get bug fixes officially until 11/07/2017 (see [...]).
