Samsung Wave S8500, Riding the Wave of InnovationEver since the iPhone revolution there has been an unfinished race among mobile phone manufacturers trying to be the next big thing. If many have tired then many have failed as well. Will Samsung Wave S8500 be able to turn the tide in its favor? Well, that only time will tell but till then we thought why not analyze how good a chance this seemingly great mobile phone has. Going strictly by the looks of it, it is an eye candy for sure. It gets you hooked on to know more about The first feature that helps Samsung Wave S8500 stand out is its operating system ‘Bada’. ‘Bada’, which means ‘Ocean’ in Korean, is Samsung’s own operating system and kind of gives an exclusive edge to the mobile phone. Whether it can match and may be beat the existing and upcoming behemoths like Android, that I believe is a farfetched idea as of now. Then there is a really nice, big and fascinating 3.3 inch sized ‘Super AMOLED’ screen supported by the TouchWiz 3.0 interface. The colors (16 million) are fantastic and the resolution (800x480 pixels) is just too good. On top of it, the phone boasts of multi-touch ability and has a scratch-resistant surface. So while carrying it or using it you would have more fun and lesser things to worry about. What is even more amazing is the fact that Samsung Wave S8500 runs on a 1000 MHz processor and 512 MB of RAM. There are lots of mobile phones out there trying to find a foothold but very few who can come closer to this gadget when it comes to speed. The real advantage lies in the ease with Adding more strength to the Samsung Wave is the fact that it works on dual band HSPDA and quad band GSM networks. For connectivity it offers you the latest Wi-Fi with N mode (802.11n), Bluetooth 3.0 as well as microUSB. The end result is you can stay connected anywhere and anytime. Moreover, since mobile phones have now become more than a device for communication, hence it becomes equally important to include entertainment features in the mobile phones. Samsung has taken complete care of this by including a 5 megapixel camera in the phone. It also has autofocus, LED flash and ability to record videos (720p). And in case you are worried about the storage space then there is an option of choosing between 2 GB and 8 GB internal memory supported through an expandable memory slot for a 32 GB microSD card. If you are still thinking that something is missing with the Samsung Wave S8500, well it uses Samsung’s own mDNIe technology, has GPS, supports DivX, XviD, etc, 5.1 channel mobile theater, music player and FM radio, offline and no SIM mode. In other words it has practically everything you would want in your mobile phone. The only thing that is still to be seen is how strongly it can withstand the pressure of the sea of mobile phones. |
