The Samsung Focus S is a slate smartphone that runs Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 (code-named "Mango") operating system. It is the successor to the Samsung Focus, and was released on November 6, 2011 in the United States. Currently, the Focus S is available exclusively through AT&T.[1] As of August 2012, it is the thinnest and lightest Windows Phone device currently in the Market.
Hardware and Display
The display is the same 4.3-inch, WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) resolution Super AMOLED 'Plus' unit seen on the global versions of the Galaxy S II. The 'Plus' part of the display is an upgrade over the displays on the previous Samsung Focus and Focus Flash and refers to its use of a standard RGB pixel layout as opposed to the much-derided PenTile layout. Colors are vibrant, viewing angles are high, and its blacks complement the Windows Phone Metro interface well. Below the display are three capacitive buttons for back, Start, and search, as seen on most Windows Phones. Above it is the earpiece, light sensors, and afront-facing camera. The sides of the phone are home to a dual-stage camera key, power/sleep/unlock key (right side), and volume rocker (left side).
Usability
The Samsung Focus S is powered by a 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor. Windows Phone 7.5 offers a number of performance and usability enhancements over previous versions. Microsoft's vision of the interface works as the company promises.
