Samsung Wave 3 Review
(S8600) Score: 54.2 / 100Samsung Wave 3 is a mid-level bada phone launched in August 2011, including a 4 inches touch-screen, a fast 1.4 gigahertz processor, and two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera. Let's take a deeper sight of what this cellphone offers to us.
The Samsung Wave 3 is equipped with a great performance 1400 MHz processing unit. This phone counts with a 3,07 GB internal storage memory, an average quantity that should be enough for most users considering that it also has a slot for an external memory card .
This cellphone is much lighter than what you expect from a phone like this. This phone is thin and practical, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches.
This phone has two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. It is also able to shoot 1280x720 HD videos at 30 fps. In addition, this phone's camera also features auto-focus and flash.
This cellphone is equipped with a good looking 800 x 480 4 inches screen, making everything look colorful and brightful. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
The Samsung Wave 3 uses a 1500 mAh medium sized Li-Ion removable battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery lifecompared to other phones. This cellphone has an aproximate talk time of 8.5 hours and a stand by time of 480 hours according to Samsung.
This phone has wi-fi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device works with a SIM card for GSM networks.
The Samsung Wave 3 also features a couple of cool characteristics as Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
Samsung sells this phone for 75 dollars, which is rather expensive for this kind of cellphone. If you will use this cellphone mostly for social networks, this phone is a great choice .
