HomeNewsSamsung unveils new Ativ and Galaxy products in London Samsung has pulled back the curtain on a number of new gadgets at an exclusive launch event in London this evening Samsung is the one tech company just refusing to touch the brakes at the moment. The South Korean powerhouse has revealed a shedload of new products in London this evening including phones, laptops and cameras. Under the banner of the new Ativ brand, Samsung has offered up two laptops, one convertible tablet, one dedicated tablet and a monitor. There was also an official appearance from the leaked Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom and the Galaxy NX camera. Jumping on the convertible bandwagon, the Samsung Ativ Q makes like the Windows Surface Pro or the Toshiba Portege Z10t by offering you a 13-inch Windows 8 laptop that slides down to become a laptop. We say Windows 8, but in fact the Ativ Q also comes loaded with Google’s Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2. OS with full access to the Google Play store. You can use Android in tablet mode then switch to Windows for laptop duties. Documents and pictures will be simultaneously saved to both operating systems and you’ll be able to switch easily with a dedicated icon. The 13.3-inch 3200 x 1800 display isn’t quite 4K resolution, but we doubt you’ll be complaining because it's higher than anyone else has got. It’s got a brighter screen for using outdoors and comes with the S Pen stylus that Samsung has previously used on the likes of the Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. Processing power is handled by an Intel Core i5 with integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 and 4GB RAM. There’s also a 128GB SSD included to keep the speed up. At 13.9mm thin and weighing in at a scant 1.29kg, the Ativ Q is certainly portable enough to make a dent in the Ultrabook world. And with the USP of a dual-OS on the cards, this could well be a coup for Samsung. Long time admirers of Samsung’s flagship Series 9 laptop will be pleased to see the notebook has been given an overhaul to mark its entrance into the Ativ family. Two versions of the new Samsung Ativ Book 9 are to me made available; a premium “Plus” model and an affordable “Lite” version. The Pro model is a fraction thicker than the original Series 9 at 13.6mm due to improvements to the backlit keyboard and touchpad. But Samsung has nevertheless kept the weight off at 1.39kg and has optimised the touchscreen for use with Windows 8. The Lite model packs in a bit of extra heft at 16.9mm thick and 1.44kg in weight with the battery life also dropping from the 12 hours of the Pro to 8 hours, according to Sammy. Both models still make use of quad-core processors and Samsung’s own SSD drives. The South Korean company made a point of emphasising the wake time for the Ativ Book 9 Pro is an “instant-on” 0.9 seconds. Rounding out the notable Ativ launches was the Samsung Ativ Tab 3 tablet. The latest 10.1-inch slate from Samsung bears the distinction of being the world’s thinnest Windows 8 tablet at only 8.2mm thin. Like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, the Ativ Tab 3 will also arrive with the S Pen stylus and Samsung’s S Note 2.0 software that’ll decipher handwriting and convert it into beautiful digital text. The caveat? Unfortunately the screen is a mere 1366 x 768 resolution. On board the Ativ Tab 3 is an Intel Atom Z2760 processor with a shared GPU and 2GB RAM. There’s a respectable 64GB hard drive and Samsung promises 10 hours of battery life, something we’ll be sure to put to the test when we get a chance to review this product. While it’s true that Windows 8 tablets haven’t managed to challenge their Android or iOS brethren just yet, Samsung has added an extra incentive to the Ativ 3. The tablet will come bundled with Microsoft Office home and student edition for free and, while that might not have you queuing up on launch day, it’s still a feather in the cap for this product. Unfortunately the higher-ups at Samsung have declined to share any details on availability aside from the oft-used “later this year”. As soon as we have any updates about price or release dates, we’ll share the news.
