Samsung’s Next Wave Handsets Revealed

It may be a bit of a surprise for some people, but the Samsung Wave 2 and the Wave 2 Pro smart phones are officially confirmed to be mid to low range handsets. With the original Samsung Wave being a pretty impressive high end smart phone, it was originally thought that the next device in the series would have bigger touch screen display, a faster processor and overall, better features. Instead, the Wave 2 and Wave Pro 2 are more of watered down versions of the original device.

This is easily explained by the fact that Samsung aims to put the Bada OS into the mid range smart phone market as opposed to competing with the big giants of the high end market (which would be the Android, Windows Phone 7 and the Apple iPhone). The original goal from Samsung was that they wanted to bring smart phone technology to everyone.

And by turning the Bada into the best mobile platform for this range of handsets, Samsung has a chance to gain a good hold of the market (they would still have to compete with the Android as the Google OS is being used in low to high end smart phones).

In detail, the S5250 Wave 2 and S5330 Wave 2 smart phones are pretty identical in terms of specs; the only difference is that the Wave 2 Pro has a physical QWERTY keyboard. The devices come with a pretty decent sized screen at 3.2 inches with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. With an internal memory of 80MB, users are better off using a 16GB micro SD card for storing data and other content. Of course, the phones will be using the Bada operating system, so expect to get plenty of good app support and a good choice of games for the platform.

Things We Liked From the MWC

Many consider the Mobile World Congress and the biggest event for the mobile phone industry since it focuses strictly on mobile phones and related technologies unlike events such as the Consumer Electronics Show.

The MWC was held last Valentine’s Day at Barcelona, Spain. Yep, and for the lack of any other way to put it, the event was a date with the future of mobile phone technology. There were plenty of sneak peeks at the lineup of upcoming devices for 2010, and of course, we have our favorites.

Topping off our list is the Samsung Wave smart phone. This 1GHz device features Samsung’s very own Bada operating system. It comes with a 3.3 inch super AMOLED touch screen which has one of the nicest displays we have seen on a smart phone. Overall, this is one device to look out for. The Bada OS is pretty good and intuitive, but when it comes to platforms we want, there is nothing quite like the upcoming Microsoft mobile OS.

Steve Ballmer of Microsoft went onstage to present the Windows Phone 7 series progress. What we saw blew us away. We originally expected the new Microsoft operating system to be a simple update of the existing WinMo series; instead what we saw was a complete re-imagining of how mobile phones should be used and how we should expect a user interface to look. Zune, Bing and Xbox Live Games service will be available.

Google’s Android is a definite pick by phone manufacturers as it popped up with Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro as well as HTC’s Desire and Legend smart phones. As much as we would have wanted to get a quick look at the upcoming HTC Scorpion, it was not around at the MWC.
