The Samsung ATIV SE is a smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics that operates on the Windows Phone 8 platform. This model serves as a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4, distinguished primarily by its use of Windows Phone instead of Android, along with a slightly modified exterior design.

Equipped with LTE connectivity, the ATIV SE features a 5.0-inch Full HD AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and a pixel density of 441 ppi. Under the hood, it is powered by a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor paired with 2 GB of RAM. Storage capacity stands at 16 GB, expandable via microSD cards up to 128 GB.

The device is fueled by a user-replaceable 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery and measures approximately 138 x 70 x 8 mm, weighing 136 grams. Additional features include support for multiple network bands including LTE at 1700 MHz (SGH-T899M), GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and HSPA frequencies.

Connectivity options encompass Bluetooth 3.0/4.0, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n), Wi-Fi Direct, NFC, DLNA, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Sensors integrated into the device include an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer (digital compass), assisted GPS (aGPS), and GLONASS.

The ATIV SE also comes preloaded with proprietary Samsung applications alongside standard Windows Phone software. These include Channel Surf for controlling Smart TVs, Samsung Link for cross-device content sharing, and ATIV Beam for file transfers to Android devices.
