The ATIV S Neo will also consist of some other Samsung utilities, such as ATIV Beam, Now, Beauty Shot, Manga Camera and Photo Editor as well. Both HTC 8XT and Samsung ATIV S Neo are also LTE-enabled and will be able to use Sprint’s network with no metering, throttling or overages. The Samsung ATIV S Neo will cost $149.99 on a contract, while the HTC 8XT will be a bit cheaper, priced $99.99. News from Sprint
