Samsung WAVE launches on Valentines Day!

No, Samsung isn’t launching any social networking site for lovers. Wave is the new name they have given to their first Super AMOLED phone, which is widely speculated to be launched at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, in less then 24 hours from now.

Samsung S8500 WAVE

Folks at Engadget came across a teaser on the Samsung Unpacked site that says “on Feb 14, a new mobile from Samsung is born. See it First in Barcelona”. There is a strong speculation that this new mobile may well be Samsung’s first smartphone with its own OS – the Bada OS (“bada” means “ocean” in Korean).

Technically, it’s called S8500 Wave. And one of the surprise features is its support of USB 3.0 (& bluetooth 3.0), which is yet to go mainstream. The Super AMOLED here refers to the 800 X 480 resolution and is claimed to have better visibility, when used out in the open (20% higher than competing phones).

Here are some other specs :

  • 1 GHz processor
  • 5 megapixel autofocus camera with flash
  • 720p video recording
  • 2GB of internal memory (or microSD expansion)
  • 802.11b/g/n WiFi and HSDPA data
  • DivX video support
  • USb 3.0 / Bluetooth 3.0
  • a 3.5-mm audio jack (in a device measuring 10.9-mm thick)

Note that these specs are only rumored ones, but the rumors are strong. Samsung seems to be betting high on this one, after all it is the first smartphone with Bada OS (which according to us is much needed). Just hope that the low end models like Corby/Star also receive a much more mature OS, which I am hoping the Bada would be. Stay tuned, we shall have whatever and however it is!
