Samsung S8500 Wave review: Hello, world!

The Samsung S8500 Wave is the first phone to run a brand new OS and this may look great on its resume but isnt what makes it worthwhile. The potential is all there and the UI user-friendliness is at its peak so even if Bada OS never takes off, the Wave would make a perfect feature phone nonetheless.



Now, how about the phone? We think the S8500 Wave is well worth its asking price and it would serve well the goal of paving the way to the mass market for a brand new OS.read more →

  • ARM Cortex A8 based 1GHz CPU
  • Quad-band GSM support with dual-band 3.6Mbps HSDPA, 2Mbps HSUPA

Samsung S8500 Wave preview: First look

The Samsung S8500 Wave is an interesting device indeed. Performance is pretty good even at this early stage and we take it as a promise there will be little to complain about in the end. While the limited 3rd party software puts it to a disadvantage, the impressive display and the latest Bluetooth 3.0 seem the perfectly good reasons to give it a try.



So, users should hope Samsung S8500 Wave and Bada OS in general has better fate and receives the after-sale support that it deserves.read more →

Samsung Wave

The Wave is a lot like a baby Galaxy S. What you lose in screen size and performance, you gain with better materials, build quality, battery life, and camera features (namely an LED flash and a dedicated 2-stage camera button). Bada, surprisingly, behaves a lot like a baby Android. It arguably provides the best feature phone experience currently available, but still leaves us craving for more.read more →
  • Great hardware
  • Surprisingly smartphone-like functionality
  • Solid camera

  • Built-in apps not great
  • No North American 3G

Samsung offers its most powerful phone yet

On paper, it would be easy to slate the Samsung Wave as nothing more than a tarted up Samsung Jet, with a bigger and glossier screen and a 25% more powerful processor.



But this phone is probably the most desirable on the market in terms of the complete package - the at-times average operation is offset by the beauty of the chassis and screen, as well as the pocket-friendly slim dimensions.read more →
  • Superb screen
  • Sleek design
  • Fast operation
  • Huge number of home screens
  • top end camera
  • Long battery life
  • Poor navigation experience
  • HD video recording slightly grainy
  • On-board keyboard a little slow
  • Poor predictive text
  • Lightweight internet experience

Samsung Wave S8500 Review

Using the Samsung Wave S8500 to place and receive phone calls is a terrific experience! Voices are almost crystal clear, while the loudness hits just the sweet spot. And this goes for both ends of the line. If we have to rate the phone quality of the Wave, we would give it a 9.5/10. According to the manufacturer, the Samsung Wave S8500's 1500mAh Li-Ion battery is capable of delivering up to 15 hours of talk time in 2G, and 25 days of stand-by.read more →
  • Incredibly vivid Super AMOLED screen
  • Superb build quality
  • Fast overall performance
  • Beautiful HD video recording
  • Plays DivX and Xvid at high resolutions
  • Great call quality
  • Not very intuitive interface
  • bada OS needs more improvement and fine tuning
  • Samsung Apps has a very poor catalog
  • Heavy 3D games might overwhelm the 1GHz CPU
  • Photos of the 5MP camera are not good enough
  • Dolfin 2.0 browser is not really mature for this
