NEW ORLEANS--AT&T and Samsung must be selling enough of the "Focus" family of Windows Phones to be inspired to do it again.

The day before CTIA kicks off, the two partners took the wraps off the Samsung Focus 2, a $50 Windows Phone outfitted with LTE.

The phone also features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and a 5-megapixel camera that can support 720p HD video. A front-facing VGA camera is also onboard.

Of course, the Focus 2 runs on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 operating system and AT&T's 4G LTE network.

AT&T's newest Focus will go on sale May 20 in white for $49.99 with a two-year service agreement.

The Focus 2 is AT&T's third LTE-ready Windows Phone device and the fourth in the Focus brand behind the original Samsung Focus, the more advanced Focus S, and the more midrange Focus Flash.

I'll be looking forward to getting my hands on this device here at CTIA.
