Everyone has different tastes when it comes to cell phones. Some users look for the latest and greatest in cellular technology while others seek the comforts of a basic, easy to use handset. The Samsung Wave meets many criteria of both groups of consumers. A mid-range phone, the Wave balances the advancements made with high end phones perfectly with the pleasures of a functional device.
All phones have one major requirement, whether they are emailing, direction getting wonders or simply act as a telephone: A readout that you don’t need a magnifying glass to read. The Wave is head and shoulders above almost all phones in any price range with its striking display. The screen is rather large, coming in at a healthy 3.3 inches and provides 480 x 800 pixel resolution. A mind-boggling 16 million colors are supported by the display, and the touch screen is quite accurate, a problem known only to well to previous Samsung models. Not many phones produced can match the Wave’s screen.
Web pages jump out from the screen with such beautiful resolution, a clarity only computer monitors and televisions could previously provide. Pictures to view on the phone are taken with a 5-megapixel camera. It may not be the most megapixels around, features such as touch to focus, Geo-tagging, and face and smile detection make up for any perceived inadequacies. The video camera shoots film in 720p at 30 frames per second. Many other phones are hard pressed to keep up with the Wave’s video abilities, regardless of price. Samsung even threw in a front facing camera to round out the package.
It has been established that web pages will look outstanding on the Wave’s display, and they can be reached at supersonic speed when surfing the net using a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor. The connectivity is exceptional with the availability of 3G, EDGE, GPRS, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n networks. Catching up with friends on Facebook and Twitter, finding directions, and reading the latest headlines has never been faster. In addition, a drop-down notification bar grants useful email notifications and effortless Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and volume setting access.
Because the Bada is Samsung’s own (and brand new) OS, the application store (also Samsung’s own) is still developing. Critics point to its rather sparse 150 available apps, but there are thousands more in the works. This is sure to be less of an issue as more and more Bada-powered phones are introduced onto the shelves.
The Samsung Wave is not trying to dethrone the top dollar smartphones out there. It is simply a means to provide consumers with a phone that wonderfully combines functionality with some of the luxuries that high end phones provide. Taking down the Android-powered phones will come later.
