Samsung got official with the Samsung Focus 2 Monday, the third Windows Phone smartphone on its 4G LTE network.

Samsung is the unmatched leader in offering smartphones across a variety of platforms and the Focus 2 is a powerful example of our continued commitment to Windows Phone,” said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Mobile. “As our first 4G LTE Windows Phone, the Focus 2 is a fast and versatile device for productivity, entertainment and social networking.”

The Focus 2 follows in the footsteps of the Focus, Focus Flash, and Focus S. The handset has a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, and a 5-megapixel camera that is also capable of shooting 720p HD video. The handset also has forward-facing VGA camera for video chatting.

“ATT offers our customers the broadest Windows Phone portfolio of any carrier, with three 4G LTE Windows Phones – the only 4G LTE Windows Phones in the U.S. – now at a variety of price points and form factors,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices, ATT Mobility. “The Samsung Focus 2 brings the people-first Windows Phone interface together with ATT’s fast 4G LTE network for an unbeatable experience.”

We had the opportunity to spend a little bit of time with the Focus 2 at an ATT event at CTIA. First impressions? While we couldn’t recommend the Focus 2 over the Lumia 900 (which is currently selling for the same price point), the lightweight handset is priced right at $50 for entry-level smartphone buyers who might want to give Windows Phone a try.

The Focus S will be available on May 20 from ATT.
