As seen on engadget, Samsung’s up and coming Windows 8.1 smartphone passed through the FCC last month. Now we get a look at what the actual device looks like. The above image shows a Windows powered ATIV SE. The phone shares the same look as the Galaxy handsets with the rounded corners and texture elements. The device is said to have a 5-inch, 1080p display and LTE capability. The phone will arrive this year along with the release of Windows 8. OS.
Samsung has just announced they have entered the music streaming market with their Galaxy exclusive app Milk. Milk Music is a radio service much like Pandora and iTunes Radio. What makes this app really cool is that it is ad-free and there isn’t a subscription fee. The app limits you to six skips every hour but according to Samsung you will not here any ads.
The primary feature to Milk is a large dial that list nine genres of your choice. The dial lets you fine-tune your station to include new music, popular music or music you have favorited in the past.
