That's good because the phone is absurdly light and very thin, and the GS II has been extremely well received. The good news and bad news is that the Focus S is a near dead ringer for the Samsung Galaxy S II.
#SAMSUNG FOKUS PLUS#
As you'd expect from a Super AMOLED Plus display, blacks are inky and colors are hyper-saturated, and there's a slight blue color tint that's noticeable on white backgrounds.
The Focus S has a 1650 mAh Lithium Ion battery and a power frugal 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display. How nice to not have to worry whether your phone will make it through the day with moderate to heavy use. The Focus S is faster, and more importantly, it has improved battery life because the second gen Snapdragon CPU is much more efficient. Samsung's first US Windows Phone, the Samsung Focus on AT&T was a fast phone even with the first gen 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. Why? Because they found no worthwhile performance gain with dual core CPUs, so why raise handset costs? They've finely tuned their OS for single core Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs in a similar fashion to Apple tuning the iPhone to Apple's CPUs. Not only is the Focus S extremely fast, silky fast, too fast for your grandma (or at least too fast for mine) but also Microsoft only supports single core CPUs in OS 7.5 Mango. Much as we pay micro-psychotic attention to specs, don't read too much into that.
#SAMSUNG FOKUS ANDROID#
What's different? The Galaxy S II has a 1.2GHz dual core CPU (all the rage in Android land), and the Focus S has a single core 1.4GHz CPU. That's a good deal for a phone that's a near twin to the high end Android Samsung Galaxy S II. The Focus S sells for $199 with contract, but right now the carrier is discounting it to $99 with contract. The Focus S joins its smaller and more affordable little brother, the Samsung Focus Flash and the HTC Titan.
In Chief (twitter: Samsung Focus S is part of a trio of new Windows Phone 7.5 Mango smartphones on ATT. What's not: Plasticky, audio out to amplified sources has issues but fine with headphones. What's hot: Lovely OS, excellent display, very thin and light. Home > Phone Reviews > Samsung Focus S (SGH-I937)
