well it looks a little familiar but it's also with one exception the first Windows Phone 8 device to come to sprint and it's also the first Windows Phone we've seen from Samsung in a little while so let's unbox it I'm Michael Fisher this is PocketNow and this is the Atia s neo from Samsung for Sprint let's see what's in the box so right off the bat here folks I can tell you that Sprint has changed its packaging approach this is still a 100% recyclable box as its called out right here but as you can see it is not quite the dingy cardboard packaging of your it is still cardboard maybe a little tough to see on camera but they've taken the grain out this is a much more khaki colored smooth packaging and it's quite nice gets a colorful phone image up front they're calling out the 1.4 gigahertz dual-core processor we'll talk about that in a second the HD display Windows Phone 4G of course covered up the barcodes there and a couple contact bits let's see if we can get inside the box I believe Samsung beat us inside to put a sim in but they should be the only people who've been inside beside us we'll open it up there's that device front and center looking a whole lot like the atif s that we reviewed Wow back in December I think I don't remember I reviewed it I really enjoyed the attea ves so I was excited to get my hands on this one we'll take a look at the hardware in just a second we'll put it aside see what comes in the box should be something a little bit more than the typical power cable here these are hitting started guides and envelope to send back your old device if you so choose sprint big on the green thing even as it concerns phone recycling USB cable power adapter we're used to seeing probably a 1 amp version there now headphones I was momentarily excited I don't know why I expected headphones maybe because they were included with the 8 XT as I recall feels like the battery is in this device it's a little weighty see if we can move the mic for a screen protector removal well we've maxed out the gained on the mic and we are ready to pull the screen off silence please anyway back to business on the front side here this is a slightly bluer device than the the Atif s which we reviewed a while back looks like that back protector off of there now underneath this cover I'm guessing we're going to find a removable battery much as was the case on the progenitor device yes there it is SIM card under there and there's our microSD expansion expandable memory removable battery Samsung you are an old reliable manufacturer of customizable mobile phones and we appreciate it that covers gonna go back on power standby key should be on the right here that's where it is two stage camera button all this feels a whole lot like it did on the achieve s which shouldn't surprise anyone volume rocker on the Left headphone jack up top from Qualcomm sticker USB port down below with the microphone there this is a big I believe a four point eight inch panel probably a malevolence press and hold to get power on hoping there's some juice in there this device is powered by the device as an SOC in the Snapdragon 400 family it is an MSM 8938 a which doesn't seem to differ too much from the standard MSM 80 930 but we'll get into that in our comparisons and in a review if we make it the only thing Samsung is going out of its way to call out with this device in terms of features is the achieve beam feature which is a lot like s beam you know that looks like an LCD which is a lot like s beam as featured on its Android devices welcome to your TVs new there's our Windows Phone startup screen and will just let you have a look at the device here and during the break folks I was able to confirm that this is an LCD panel on the front not the AMOLED as we saw on the classic TVs it is a 4.7 7-inch display at 720p the battery capacity is 2000 milliamp hours under the cover there and the weight is 144 grams a little heavier than we are used to so we're gonna take a look at this device as I say we're going to have either a comparison and a review or just a comparison we will have coverage on this coming up in the days ahead for now that is your unboxing of the achieve s neo for sprint by Samsung as I say folks even if we don't get to a full review of the achieve s neo which we might but we might not we will at least do a comparison video with the HTC 8x T so you know what's going on if you're a Windows Phone buyer on Sprint in the meantime please drop us a like if you enjoyed the video follow us on social media so you don't miss future coverage on this phone and every other one we can get our hands on and make sure and subscribe if you want to see future videos leave a comment down below if you have something to say and we'll see you next time thanks for watching
