Samsung ATIV S Neo - User Reviews

  • It is not working. The. Sim card but iam not happy about it

  • The handset has no,configurations to local network providers can't read the SIM,card help please

  • No, this phone is not capable with OTG devices. It might work if you get the Ninko+WP app.

  • I'd like to know if this phone is OTG capable?

  • How can i downgrade to windows 8? I'm not happy with the 8.1's music player! Please reply if you know! Thanks!

  • Tap into music + videos > music > albums > songs > tap the 'select' icon (at the bottom of the screen) > tap a song that you want to copy > tap the three dots (at the bottom of the screen) > copy to sd card. That's for the windows 8 running system, i'm not sure about the others. but this way is very simple! I love my Samsung Ativ S Neo!!

  • you tube "How to transfer music onto your Windows Phone" by recombu you can also just use windows explorer and drag and drop into the 'Music' folder of your phone.

  • How do i copy\ move music from the phone to the sd card on my windows 8....or can't i? Please reply, thank you!

  • how to add Static IP ..after update to 8.1....in my office to connect WIFI static IP option is required....any one help in this regard

  • 1.- Why is not available the setting for manage background tasks? (settings > applications > background tasks) 2.- How can i do a selective restriction of background data like android does? On WP 8.1 this setting is FLAT to all apps! How can I enable backgroud data only i.e for WhatsApp? Thank you so much!!

  • All specs are good but why is their no GPU in this thing? I was about to get this and it just pushed me away.

  • okay? its windows phone obviously. whats wrong with that?

  • This is windows phone . Not android :|

  • Onedrive is 30 GB free!

  • yes, i picked up a SASN and i loaded DP 8.1..wow!!!! changed the phone completely: i love how smooth the phone runs, the pictures arent the BEST like my Lumia 925 or 1020, but i can work around them> the phone is great: light weight; screen is real!! nice 4.7 and the battery is amazing!! if your looking for a GOOD windows phone: pic up the ATIV neo s. im using mine on the ATT network.to bad they dont advertise this phone alot, many think i have an Android device, but when i show them the phone they say WOW!! what type of phone is that...i love that question!!! daniel Atlanata GA 7-24-2014 546pm

  • With the upcoming WP8.1 update it won't matter what the hardware is like. I went from WP 8 to preview WP8.1 and the quality on the ativ s neo improved dramatically. Sprint had bloatware that made the phone hang periodically. The new OS allows you to have better options and for apps to be installed on your memory card. Any last on my phone has disappeared.

  • i do have a ativ S and it is a very very good phone. solid and fast! would like to recommand it to everyone who wants a windows phone.

  • yes it is sexy but CRAPPY too; Nokia may not-so-gorgeous but its the best WP ever

  • Samsung please dont make Windows phone. The best wimdows phone is from Nokia. Your phone design like Android. VERY cheap quality.

  • I do not want to think that Samsung is "taking advantage" of its current reputation by offering this phone at a more expensive price than the Nokia Lumia 820. The Lumia 820 has lower battery life and lower internal memory, and has no HDR, according to the specifications. But when comparing specifications, Lumia 820 also has several advantages over this phone.

  • call volume is very low . only goes to 10. media volume goes to 30. need app to fix. any answers ?

  • They say beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder.. Which is true. You must have been holding a potent one.

  • Is the phone coming to Europa Germany

  • Nokia is ugly. This is sexy.

  • Nokia has better hardware. Windows is not user friendly

  • 32 GB is a lot for most sane people. Now think HERE city lens, HERE maps, HERE drive plus, Nokia smart shoot, Nokia smart cam, Nokia glance, Lumia color profile, Carl Zeiss optics.. You want a Windows Phone, get a Lumia

  • Hey2

  • why dont samsung try a sensor instead of using a button?

  • if you want windows phone with bigger screen, you should se lumia 1520 or 1320

  • Lumia 925 does not have expandable storage. For people who want SD card option and a big HD display, this is the best option.

  • why consider this phone at all when you can buy a Nokia Lumia 925

  • is this phone coming to India or not??? still not available in market

  • when this phone come in india..?

  • verry nice phone

  • nothing to say nokia is king of WP.it will grow day by day

  • realy its a verry nice phone

  • I want buy samsung ativ s neo are good phone and whate it price

  • Very nice phone working with both CDMA & GSM network. Thank u samsung. I m loving it....

  • Very nice phone working with both CDMA & GSM network. Thank u samsung. I m loving it....

  • Very nice phone working with both CDMA & GSM network. Thank u samsung. I m loving it....

  • Its very good mobile.i like it but disply is small compare to samsung galaxy grand.i dont know which is the best one anroid or window

  • Sir this mobile was very beautiful.look. But the os was change in windows. To android. Os the mobile sale in very very impoten piece

  • its awesome

  • This is just Galaxy S3 with Windows phone OS inside.

  • Hey , why people talking about nokia here we talking abt samsung active series. So its great phone activ s neo

  • When's the review coming?? Gotta check it out to take a decisión against Lumia 928! PLease do it asap!

  • in windows htc mobiles are best...

  • Nokia is best in windows world..

  • actually samsung has been using windows mobile platform since 2003... nokia is just the new one in windows based platform.. just as you know.. tanx

  • Nokia is new in this windows game where have they've been with their expensive phones

  • I've used HTC touch wp5 and still use Samsung wp6.1,on Friday I bought Samsung atv s,well it is a nice phone just the battery doesn't last especially when browsing the web.My old wp6 can still last,Nokia are new in this windows game I won't bother myself with their stuff,I've used WP since 2007 and its been good

  • No Originality -____- very awkward. i accidentally see this phone while looking for android phones,and i guess windows are perfect to it's original owner Nokia.

  • Win8 supports Quad core and more

  • 144 $ only but not run in s.l market

  • i think so this phone will not run in the marker because this phone must be come in windows 8.1 or 8.2 because nokia is removing the version 8.1 so u have to do so changes so very soon u must remove the up gradation in 8.1 all the best ......................

  • i think i have to buy this phone immediately

  • Nokia Lumia is much better than this Crap Sung

  • One of the major appeals of WP8 when it rolled was its ability to run on mid-tier hardware. On other words, the need for faster and cutting edge becomes nothing more than an ego thing on this platform. I will gladly pay less for the Ativ S Neo than the latest and greatest battery drainer

  • i think this phone is good. i will buy 2 for my pets

  • It's awesome

  • Samsung Ativ S Neo is Low End model!!.

  • good and quality company nokia

  • Samsung is already announce low end phone. Samsung ativ odyssey

  • samsung is all about low quality phone..

  • Dear Samsung. When will you launch low budget WP8??????????

  • Why is Sammy even bothering about making a win8 phone where we all know that NOKIA Is the best win 8 phone maker and all nokias are better than samsung by a long shot

  • only Samsung can bring Windows Dual sim phones....

  • only Samsung can bring Windows Dual sim phones

  • "duel core" it's not Samsung fault. It's windows 8 that doesn't support more than that tell now.

  • And also, windows phone is like IOS, its very good and obtimized OS. There is no need for quadcore or 2,3,4 GB Ram on WP8 which is badly needed on android phones. Just Dual-core processor and 1 GB of ram can power up windows phone perfectly and smoothly.

  • Good phone. Samsung 1st generation phones are pretty much better than those lumia at same price range. Samsung Ativ S is also much better than lumia 820. Just buy this phone, you will not be sorry.

  • hello buddy if any persone like to use windows phone then my suugetion go in nokia lumia 920 ya upcoming 1020 its really good device better then all smart phone

  • Too bad.... Samsung didn't make it a quad core device. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame on you Samsung!

  • Samsung Galaxy SIII with wp8

  • hi friends this phone is very buitiful but this phone as o radio so it is bad........Thankyou

  • Amazon

  • Are all ativs so bad that even samsung i700 was better in its time than all ativs in theirs?

  • why with windows whyyyy whyyy please don t go back with android there is more life there ahhhhhhhhhhhhh euh ahhhhhhh

  • yes frd you r right Samsung worst to make new design always coping old model previous design only

  • This phone is can't even compare with the HTC & Nokia designs. Samsung will never learn how to design a phone. Samsung entered for the WP market 2-3 years ago, but HTC and Nokia completely kick off Samsung from WP. Now they will face the same fate that they were faced earlier.

  • samsung is like china duped phones. have many feauters, but no quality and no build strenth.. i have s4... now i am sad about thinking htc one.... defnitly i buy htc one or nokia lumia 920 as soon as possible

  • nothing is there in this mobile to become afraid.. even samsung galaxy s4 is in the second position, while htc carrying first.. samsung is like china.. no perfomane quality

  • that's correct

  • Samsung has an edge over nokia because of android.otherwise it is impossible for them to beat nokia as we see nokia is far ahead of samsung in terms windows phones.

  • How can they be jealous about this? Same Ativ S, which came last year. Seriously, hardly no-one are interested for this.

  • what ever people say about samsung. i dont care am die hard samsung lover. now my question is am in germany and ever since i had my ativ s for the past three months i cannot use it becousne n can o cover . so where can i get the original samsung flip leather case?

  • It is an awse phone but the battrey its not enough because i have the samsung ativ s and ts wsy btter

  • Windows Phones can't really be judged by efficiency benchmarks set by Android phones. That battery should work just fine. I know a similar battery in my Lumia 920 lasts all day and night.

  • If u want to buy WP don't buy it expect if it's Nokia cuz I won't get the support and value added app of ur WP is nt Nokia...i am using Samsung Omnia w n I still haven't received 7.8 official update which Nokia phones got a year ago now

  • Well its a good phone but the problem is the battery now Sony comes with 3000mAH battery so they not upgrade it

  • Battery is definitely not gonna be lasting long enough.o come on samsung be considerable.

  • I am looking forward to switching from Android to WP8. The reason I haven't switched yet is because I haven't found hardware that I like. Until this phone came along....but yet I'm still dissapointed. They are claiming this to be a "new" phone even though the phone has been out for 8 months. They change a few little things like a color here or there, a slower processor, and smaller battery and then re-claim it as being "new" again. I want to switch but I'm going to have trouble shelling out 150 bones for a phone thats already almost a year old.

  • Still, if you flip back and line up with another series of galaxy, you'll figure out that they dont have any diffrences at all.

  • all of the nokia fanboys voting down this phone haha lol. afraid and also jealous much

  • It all specification are not conformed. When it release it has all awesome Specifications.

  • What a stupid comment , this phone of course has GPU ! U guys get a life

  • It uses the snapdragon 400 while the ativ s uses the older version of snapdragon so it's a small upgrade

  • Nokia is far better than samsung forever. SamChung is only popular cause to their cheap phone (cause to low quality). SamChung can't beat nokia in WP.

  • Upgrade or what!!! LTE with smaller battery and lower clocked cpu. Hope it is cheaper.

  • Really Nokia Lumia 925 is far better than these same phones of SamSung

  • Lumia is far better than this

  • Samsung never gave a damn about Windows phones, why should we care about them.

  • good phone but GPU missing and nokia provided GPU in lumia 520 the most affordable wp8 smartphone with good built quality and sexy looks and colors so avoide it

  • This model specs and something new...No!!. ; ( Fail!!. Samsung,no this good!!.

  • Samsung have boring,same design and Low build quality

  • nokia - the best in wp8

  • go the nokia 920 or 925, way better windows phones plus you get the great maps that are just getting better, nokia exclusives and more, plus with the amber update you are going to be able to control the saturation of the screen and more,,, plus I have the nokia lumia 920, fantastic phone wouldn't swap it, it is the best phone I have ever had

  • I might give up the iPhone 5 now, this the one I been waiting for

  • This is a good sign Samsung continue Ativ S Windows phone series. Samsung is number 1 in Smartphone in the world. Now no plan to buy Nokia Lumia or HTC.

  • Samsung Corp. Is So Much Innovative But Their Phones And Tablets Designs Are Played Out By Now. They Have To Seriously Focus On Their Designs So Much Work Is Needed In This Portion. They Should Learn SomeThing From HTC,Nokia & Apple. These Three Tech Gaints Built Top Notch Quality Phones With A Decent,Sophisticated & Nice Looks.

  • You had my curiosity samsung, but now you have my attention.
