Samsung Wave Review

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. The show-stopper is Super AMOLED screen, taking the class-leading AMOLED screen used on Samsung's range in 2009 even further, with clearly richer and more vibrant colors. The panel itself displays 800 x 480 pixels, which makes it ideal for surfing the web or watching videos. This new design reflects less light and, therefore, handles better outdoors. Samsung achieved this by removing layers of the touchscreen technology and effectively placing the OLED display directly under the surface layer of glass. The end result is a screen that no other manufacturer can match at this time.



You will have few, if any, complaints about the Samsung Wave's user interface, as it is clean and responsive. You can really feel the benefits of the having the phone run off a 1GHz processor. It would have been nice to see Samsung try to have been a little bit more inventive though, as they have clearly borrowed heavily from Google's Android operating system. Still, at least they have a copied a good, proven operating system, rather than a bad one.

The message inbox covers all messaging formats, from standard SMS, to email (including web-based services), to Twitter and Facebook. You can easily send and receive messages, so it is ideal for those who have a large network of friends and contacts to communicate with. Calendar features are also well integrated. You can opt for a traditional calendar, or view a stream of calendar entries, and can link your phone's calendar up to each of your social networking accounts. You can easily create events and invite friends.


So, whilst not a revolutionary phone, the Samsung Wave is definitely one to consider. If you are looking for a sleek, professional phone, that runs efficiently and smoothly, you will be hard pressed to find a better option. It shows that Samsung are still a big player in the smartphone market, and you can expect to see much more from them in the future.
