Samsung is rumored to be making its return to Windows Phone over the coming month, with a device named the Ativ SE. An early leaked image, indicating it will be a Verizon exclusive, has now been joined by a possible specification, revealing the phone will match the most recent, and high-end, Nokia Lumia phones.
What can we expect? The screen is likely to measure 5-inches, and come with a 1080p resolution. The processor powering the phone is listed as the trusty Snapdragon 800, along with 2GB of RAM, plus 16GB of internal storage memory. A microSD card slot will be waiting to increase this amount though.
If this spec sounds familiar, you're probably thinking about the Nokia Lumia Icon, another Verizon exclusive Windows Phone device. The key difference between the two could be the camera. Nokia fitted a 20-megapixel PureView lens to the rear of its phone, while Samsung is expected to use a 13-megapixel camera on the Ativ SE.
The other prime difference is the design. A leaked image of the Ativ SE shows it could look very similar to the Android-based Galaxy S4, but with a cool brushed metal effect on the rear panel. The image shows Verizon branding on the phone, plus a 4G LTE logo.
Microsoft is holding its Build developer conference over the next few days, and although we're expecting to hear about Windows Phone 8.1, the Ativ SE could launch with the current Windows Phone 8 build onboard. Therefore, its official announcement may not be made on stage, but through a press release. If the rumor is accurate, the Ativ SE will be put on sale before the end of April.
We were impressed with the Lumia Icon, and gave it a strong score in our review. Will Samsung's return to Windows Phone be just as impressive? We'll bring you all the official details when we know more.
