Samsung unveils new ATIV Windows 8 hardware, but showed no love for Windows Phone

Samsung ATIV Tab 3

So Samsung unveiled a number of ATIV products today, which is great and all, but one can't help but wonder where the phones were. We're non talking about Android hardware, because Samsung managed to show off some features of the Galaxy range. Only while we weren't expecting to encounter a new Windows Telephone, the OEM could have unleashed a beauty of a device and ascent to Nokia's challenge.

We saw the following take heart stage (if y'all so happened to miss the show):

ATIV Tab 3
ATIV Book nine (Low-cal and PLUS)
ATIV 1 5
ATIV Q

It's rather foreign how Samsung went nearly announcing everything every bit we had to use other sources instread of relying on the usual press releases. In fact, we covered new hardware today that wasn't even nowadays at the Samsung event in London. We can't help but feel as though the whole matter as slightly rushed when we await at the Windows sections. What would have been an awesome addition? Of course, a Windows Telephone.

That'south right, folks. Information technology floats. Await at that floating.

Now we know that Samsung has firmly placed all its eggs in the Android basket, just information technology'southward interesting to encounter how the company has expanded the ATIV family to include more form factors. Could nosotros be witnessing a slight alter in the wind with more support for Microsoft? We highly dubiousness it, but there has ever been hope for Samsung. Nosotros'll shortly resort to sending nasty emails and camping ground exterior their HQ until nosotros become an ATIV S II. Now wouldn't that exist a blinder?

Information technology's actually frustrating for the states here at Windows Phone Central. While we enjoy roofing Nokia news and everything the manufacturer is doing for Windows Phone, we miss Samsung. They produce some real squeamish hardware and we praised the ATIV Southward in our in-depth review. We'd similar to see Samsung burn down up the Windows Phone car once more and start churning out more handsets. Just time volition tell if the company has time for Microsoft's mobile platform.

But that'due south enough from us, how did yous experience about today'south presentation?

Exist certain to remain tuned to our feeds for hands-on and more details regarding the products announced today.
