The Samsung Focus features a Corning Gorilla glass,[2] Super AMOLED[3] display like its Galaxy S cousins.

The nature of the capacitive touchscreen can cause some issues as some have noted placing the phone on a plush surface will make the display very unresponsive.

"[5] CNET gave the phone 4 out of 5 stars and stated, "Anyone looking for an alternative to the iPhone, but who wants better multimedia features and a more organized user interface than Android offers, should look at the Samsung Focus ... which has all that plus solid performance and a sleek design.

"[9] In its annual Readers' Choice Awards 2011, PC Magazine gave the Samsung Focus the highest overall score among AT&T smartphones, besting the Apple iPhone.

[10] The Focus is marketed as the only Windows Phone that has a microSD card slot but many users found that installation can be tricky.

AT&T has informed customers to buy a "Samsung Focus approved" microSD card in order to use the slot.
