Samsung Wave 2 : An Impressive Phone
Samsung first launched the Wave as a feature-packed, technology-rich smartphone based on their own Bada operating platform. There wasn’t much you couldn’t love about the original Wave, and even if it was trying to compete at the top end of the market, it still proved popular. With the Wave 2, Samsung is trying to achieve something different for its Bada platform, but what does this mean for the next generation of Wave users?
On the face of it, there’s no doubting that the Wave 2 has inherited the original’s good looks. With a sleek and polished design, the phone might not be iPhone beautiful, but it is pretty stunning. When you switch it on, the 3.2 inch screen is clear and bright, even though it doesn’t share the same AMOLED technology that went into the first Wave. The essential touchscreen that all smartphones seem to need these days is responsive and automatically changes the display to suit the phone’s orientation, thanks to the inbuilt accelerometer.
Unlike the original Wave which was a 3G smartphone, data is managed through the Wave 2′s EDGE and GPRS connectivity. However, the newer version of the Wave does get the latest Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS, that you will find in many of the top smartphones. You also get a clever feature that records directly from the FM radio that’s included in the Wave 2.
The Wave 2 continues to use the Bada operating platform that has been developed by Samsung, even with the challenges of generating enough demand so that developers will want to create content for one more operating system. Aiming the Wave 2 at the larger, mid-market, as well as building a host of other features around Bada, will hopefully help accomplish this.
Using Bada gives the Wave 2 the opportunity to benefit from a host of Samsung-created software and features, including the easy to use Touchwiz interface, as well as the popular Social Hub that puts all your networking in one place, and a range of Samsung Apps. With a 3.2 megapixel camera and the ability to record video, the Wave 2 performs well on the camera front, if not quite up to the standard of the original Wave or the more expensive smartphones.
Some might feel that the Samsung Wave 2 is actually a step backwards from the original Wave, but in the same way that the prototype cars you see at motor shows give birth to more usable and affordable road-going versions, Samsung’s Wave 2 will take their Bada operating platform to a much wider audience of smartphone users. Samsung has made Bada, and their other proprietary smartphone software, likeable, and the Wave 2 will help to make it popular.
