One of the highlights of Samsung’s London Premiere event that took place last night was the unveiling of the South Korean company’s first dual-OS tablet, the ATIV Q.

However, on this occasion the goal was to “marry” both Android and Windows together to create the mother of all computing experiences.

Samsung is holding a press event in London later on today, and it has a number of new devices up its sleeve for both Android and Windows Phone fans. While the Korean company has already announced a slew of devices this year, it is by no means finished just yet.
