There is a new Samsung branded smart phone that will be launched this coming June and it is something of an industry curiosity, the S8500 Wave is the very first handset from the Korean developer to make use of the new first party mobile platform, the Bada OS. The new handset also brings an innovation in the mobile screen technology; the super AMOLED touch screen display.
These two features have debuted when the phone was shown at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, Spain last February. There is no doubt that many of those who got to check out the device were impressed with how well the new screen is able to display colors and tones. The rich colors and excellent lighting allows for the super AMOLED screen to show off the visually superior graphics –the technology is being overlooked due to the focus on the emergence of 3D displays.
Samsung’s Bada OS is also gaining a bit of a reputation among the developer community. The Korean manufacturer is heavily pushing for the presence of community and developer support and has just launched several developer challenges in order to get more apps for their new OS. It has been revealed last month that the Bada will be used in four more devices –each less technologically advanced than the Wave smart phone.
For a phone debuting two major features, the Wave comes packed with the technological backing to compete with high end Androids and other smart phones. The CPU is a high speed 1 GHz CPU –which means that the phone will be able to handle even resource consuming apps. The device also comes with a 3.3 inch using the super AMOLED technology described above and a 5 mega pixel that can handle 720p HD video recording. The device is expected to hit shelves this coming June.
