Preview of GSM/UMTS-handset Samsung Wave (S8500)
Mobile-review have posted a preview of the Samsung Wave. Here is their final impression.
The Wave is set to land on most markets in April, which isn't all that far off. Being a very speedy phone in general, it also happens to be the first device to feature: Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi b/g/n connectivity, Super AMOLED display, dedicated graphics and sound processors, along with mDNIe technology. It's got a metal casing, and a glass display cover. Plenty of bundled memory, plus a memory card slot. Outstanding feature pack and a decent brower. Social Hub that brings together all your social activities together and… You know, I could go on and on, listing all the advantages of the S8500. Even considering the fact that there are no third-party apps for Bada, the Wave still looks like a mobile powerhouse. As far as its segment is concerned, it's one of the best offerings for the first half of 2010. The only question remains - how much will it go for? Fancy a guess? In Europe its price tag will be in the neighborhood of 450 Euro, which is more than adequate for Samsung's flagship with this much punch under the hood. We'll update this preview as soon as we get our hands on a retail unit. The bottom line? Samsung Wave will definitely become one of the milestones not only for Samsung, but also the whole industry, raising the bar for price/quality ratio.
