Samsung Wave Review
(GT-S8500) Score: 52.4 / 100Samsung Wave is a fair quality bada cellphone, having a processing unit speeding at 1 GHz, a medium sized 3.3" display and a 5 mega-pixels back side camera.
Samsung sells this cellphone with a powerful processing unit running at 1000 MHz. This cellphone counts with a fair 2 GB internal storage, which is adequate for most users having that the Samsung Wave also has an SD memory card expansion slot .
This phone is 4.65 inches long, it just packs a way smaller 3.3 inches screen. The Samsung Wave's thickness , 0.43 inches, is a bit far from today's standards, but it still feels quite comfortable in the hand. Samsung appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4.09 oz cellphone.
The Samsung Wave includes a interesting 3.3" display with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels in the display. This display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.
The Samsung Wave offers wi-fi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices acting as a hotspot) and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM networks.
This cellphone only features a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera. It can also shoot videos in HD 1280x720 at 30 fps. Additionally, this phone's camera also features a few nice features like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.
This cellphone also features a handful of cool characteristics such as Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The Samsung Wave has a medium 1500 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is not really enough for a demanding phone like this. Samsung reports a talk time of 15 hs and a stand by time of 600 hs for this device.
Samsung offers this phone for 80 dollars, which is a high price for this kind of phone.
