Samsung ATIV Odyssey Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung ATIV Odyssey Windows Phone 8 smartphone on Verizon. The ATIV Odyssey has a 4", 800 x 480 Super AMOLED display and sells for $49 with contract. It's roughly equivalent to the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, and is the smaller, lower spec cousin to the ATIV S available overseas. The phone runs on a 1.5GHz dual core Snapdragon CPU with a gig of RAM and 8 gigs of internal storage. There's a microSD card slot, removable battery, NFC, dual band WiFi, a front video chat camera and rear 5MP camera with LED flash. The phone has LTE on Verizon's network and its capable of overseas GSM roaming on EDGE and 3G.

Thanks for all the kind wishes and it's great to be back!

We reviewed the US version of the 820, which is the Lumia 822 on Verizon. We probably won't review the Lumia 620 since it doesn't look like it's coming to the US.

Windows needs some more mainstream apps for their phone and computer. Glad you feel much better. I notice a few tech people I follow on here get sick around CES. I guess the different environments. Glad to see you're feeling better.

When the Xperia Z is released we'll certainly review it.

Good to see that W8 is popping out on all types and sizes of phones - Love the W8OS. Just wondering who will be the first to produce the 7" W8 tablet....

[mobiletechreview]

Yes, I know what you meant: the Xperia Z tablet.

Thanks for your more consumer-centric reviews compared to the over-techied ones!

[mobiletechreview]

Yes, we'll review BlackBerry 10 devices. Z10 first.

[mobiletechreview]

Thanks! Nearly all better now, but that was a nasty flu.

[PlayingWithFire]

would you recommend this over the samsung galaxy stellar? the stellars app selection is nice and i love one of the music downloading apps on mine, but it just doesnt have the power that the odyssey has.

Great review as always Lisa.
But why isn't anybody talking about the 'OTHER' storage issue which is happening on all the phones running WP8?It is a major issue but no reviewer is talking about it.Are you guys aware of it?

[ozzydo]

Hi Lisa. I am just wondering if you'll be doing reviews on Blackberry 10?

[christian]
