The delivery of the Ativ S was quick and easy, three days after ordering. The first view creates first associations with the Samsung Galaxy series because the appearance is quite similar. When unpacking it looks instantly from dibasic. The only visual nuisance in my opinion is the only "brushed aluminum" -Plastik on the back. It looks great, but scratched extremely fast. I have touched the cell phone since a half weeks and have it with kid gloves. Nevertheless, I noticed today the first scratch at the back (I wear it with a soft case with me). What's inside, meaning the hardware, is really top notch for the price (184). On this point, comparable products such as Nokia cost because also like a hundred more. The fast CPU creates among many apps even simple 3D games. For example, I tried Temple Run and 3D bowling. Smaller racing games like Brutal Chase and Drift Mania capabilities are impeccable. The 8mpx camera makes both good pictures, and good videos, which still look very much like cell phone, when they are viewed. Another good point is the battery life. It comes despite the energy-intensive hardware well throughout the day. Recently I had a battery life of 32 hours at moderate use. Perhaps this is related to the display together as this, for example, do not display black, and so saves above all in the tile wall of electricity. The battery itself is moreover removable and can be in the same place not insert a mini SD card. My few real criticisms of the smart phone are not minted in the hardware but in the software. On the one hand you are looking for a long time after some apps that are available on Androidbasis - however, there are the most and if not good alternatives. On the other hand it would have liked to, nor classify the apps from the OS ago in different genres, because in addition to the famous tiled wall (which is really what hermacht), there is only an alphabetical list, which can be a little longer sometimes. Another criticism is that many apps positioning functions are used, although these are not strictly necessary. In addition also "protocols" can be sent to Microsoft, as well as keystrokes (you can turn off all thankfully). For me, this is, however, a sign that the Notice is replaced here with feet. In addition, negative should be noted that you can not store contacts on the SIM card, but it has to outsource to e-mail accounts. All in all, the Samsung Ativ S in hardware unsurpassed value terms compared to the competitor's. Software default is still room for improvement. And God, like me, the "aluminum" or the back annoys ...
