Samsung and AT&T are hoping to attract customers who want a sleek Windows Phone at an affordable price with the Samsung Focus 2. The Focus 2 is Samsung's first 4G LTE Windows Phone. It's also the third Windows Phone from AT&T that connects to the carrier's 4G LTE network. AT&T's 4G LTE network is currently available in 47 markets which covers over 74 million Americans.
Running on Windows Phone 7.5 (codenamed Mango), the Focus 2 features a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor, and a 5-megapixel camera. With Windows Phone 7.5, you'll get Live Tiles which gives you real time updates directly from the Start Screen; you can see calendar appointments, emails, social media updates, and more with a quick glance thanks to Live Tiles.

The Focus 2 is thin and lightweight, measuring 10.98mm thick and weighing 4.3 ounces. When you compare the footprint of the Focus 2 to many of today's popular Android handsets, you'll immediately notice the Focus 2 is smaller, enabling it to fit very easily in your pocket or purse and making it comfortable to hold in your hand.
The Focus 2 is currently available from AT&T for $49.99 with a two-year contract. Given its budget-friendly price, the Focus 2 isn't designed to compete with the high-end $200+ handsets on the market. Instead, it's designed to give Windows Phone users 4G LTE connectivity and reasonable performance without breaking the bank.
