Let’s talk about the user interface and the operating system the ATIV S comes with. According to our opinion, Windows Phone 8 is a great upgrade and has set up the platform to take over Android and iOS. Even though, ample of the fellow interfaces and layouts remains to make it identifiable, yet there are changes to both the way the software look and work.
The user interface looks more or less similar to the Windows Phone 7 user interface, and there is nothing wrong with it as the interface is very different from anything else on the market. You may feel that the metallic and down to business exterior of the ATIV S does really not fit the cheerful multicolored nature of the modern user interface, but when you look into the color themes then you will realize that you can change the color themes and choose something that look more appropriate to you. The platform does let you considerably adjust its appearance with the intention of making it fit your precise color tastes.
Users can resize the distinctive Live Tiles very easily that allows to vastly increasing the numbers that can be included on the home screen. In addition, if you want Tiles to act like app icon, then you can reduce them to a smaller size. Alternatively, users can also expand the Tiles across the screen in order to show more information on the screen.
People Hub was one of the most popular feature of the previous version of Windows Phone that is now expanded and now includes a ‘Rooms’ feature so that you can group certain contacts together and share messages, photos and calendars events between them. In this way, users can bring together contacts, messages and social updates in one place.
Since Windows Phone has constantly put an emphasis on social networking, therefore, the People Hub has made to work even better as compared to any other comparable iOS or Android.
Further than the user interface of the ATIV S, the software of the device has been entirely reconstructed with the intention that the code on which it runs is more consistent with the desktop and tablet versions of Windows 8.
