The Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 smartphone: Hands On



All the new Windows Phone 7's work similarly, as they're all based on Qualcomm's 1-GHz QSD8250 chipset with very similar hardware stats, including HSDPA 7.2, Wi-Fi, and a 5-megapixel camera. The Focus has 8GB of memory built in, but an AT&T spokesman at the launch said a MicroSD card up to 32GB could be added, provided you factory reset the phone when you do. If that's true, the Focus can expand up to 40GB.

Like the Captivate, the Focus is equipped with Samsung's latest and greatest in display technology: a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with a WVGA resolution. Other specifications include a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8GB NAND Flash for storage of applications and more, microSD memory card slot, 5-megapixel camera with CMOS flash, Wi-Fi Wireless-N connectivity and dynamic noise suppression from Audience.
