Samsung S8500 Wave: OS Bada, display Super AMOLED and HD video recording

The first novelty from MWC 2010 should be mentioned new phone from Samsung called S8500 Wave. It is worth it.

This phone Samsung S8500 can be called multimedia monster. Processor with 1 GH allowing the device to show almost any kind of video even up to 720p is the heart of the device. Most probably the main aim was to watch video without conversion for example mkv which is going to be easy to upload into the phone and watch not compressing the video and the sound. This beauty will be reflected by a matrix display created by the new technology Super AMOLED which is 20% brighter than the "simple" AMOLED and has a longer functioning period. Its diagonal is 3,3 inches and resolution is 800x480 pixels. Besides Samsung S8500 became the first world device with Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n. Among other details can be mentioned standard 3,5 mm slot for headphones and standard Micro-USB for charging unit.

Camera should be mentioned separately. Its resolution is only 5 mega pixel, but it has auto focus and HD video recording with resolution 1280x720 with 30 cadres per second. This is the second Samsung phone with this option, the first was Omnia HD.

OS Bada at present cannot boast with specifically developed functions, but the device functions, especially social nets integration, looks impressive any way. The recommended Samsung S8500 Wave price is 450 euro which  is reasonable for the device of this class.
