Samsung Wave : An Overview

The Samsung Wave is the Samsung's newest smartphone, and the first to make use of their new operating platform (Bada). It looks great with its slim design and large 3.3" screen. It runs off a 1GHz processor, which puts it at the top of the tree in terms of speed and responsiveness, and comes with a sizeable 8GB of internal storage. It supports a wide of media files; pretty much all of the ones that you would expect it to. All in all, in terms of specifications, you will struggle to find a better smartphone on the market right now. What really sets the Samsung Wave apart from its competitors is the quality of its screen. It is no exaggeration to say that other manufacturers cannot produce anything to match it at the moment. For the Samsung Wave, Samsung have taken their industry-leading AMOLED screen from their 2009 models and improved on it. The result? An 800 x 400 pixels screen that displays colors in a rich and vibrant way. Watching videos or surfing web on it is really a lot of fun.

There is, unfortunately, nothing revolutionary in terms of user interface, but it is not lacking in it either. This is mainly due to the fact that Samsung have heavily borrowed from popular systems used by other phone manufacturers. In particular, the user interface looks and feels quite similar to Google's Android. You will have few, if any, complaints about it, as it clean and very responsive. More apps would be nice, but Samsung have at least made a big step in the right direction by making their new operating system an open platform. Knowing how important integration with social networking sites is, Samsung have made a clear effort to make the Samsung Wave easy to use with Facebook and Twitter accounts. You can send and receive messages with ease, and always be up-to-date with what your friends and family are up to. You can actually manage your social networking accounts from the same messaging feature that deals with SMSs and emails, so you do not have to keep logging in and out of your various accounts.

So, if you are in the market for a new smartphone, then the Samsung Wave should definitely be one that you give consideration to. It is professional, sleek and reliable, if not a game changer. With this new release, Samsung have shown that they are in the smartphone market for the long term, and you can expect this to be the first of many great phones to based on their new Bada operating system.
