Latest Mobile Samsung Focus Flash review
Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7.5 Mango has hit the market with much fanfare and a slew of new devices. The Samsung Focus Flash for AT&T is part of the aforementioned group.
The American sibling of the Samsung Omnia W, together with its upscale partner, the Focus S has the difficult task of swaying people away from the established players,
which Android and iOS devices are, by packing solid hardware, spanking new OS, and a budget price tag.
After a quick look at the phone’s metal clad, all black body, and Super AMOLED screen however, the term “budget” gets quickly pushed to the back of your mind. One might even argue, that the Focus Flash look more upscale than its bigger brother – the Focus S.
On the inside, the two Windows Phone siblings from Samsung have a lot in common. Both devices are featuring a 1.4GHz Scorpion CPU, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. This can be attributed to the stringent hardware requirements which Microsoft has toward the devices, running its mobile OS. In short – it is difficult to divide the Windows Phone handsets into budget and high-end. The Samsung Focus Flash surely doesn’t mind this.
