Samsung Wave, which works on the Samsung’s own proprietary operating system—Bada—which is an open platform that allows users to download applications from Samsung Apps—which is an application store that can be accessed from the device and online, is emerging out as one of the best featured smart phones in the market.

The online application store features lots of freebie download. This is where the social networking, games and many other applications can be found. Bada is an open and configurable platform that also allows developers to create new applications with ease. Multi widgets provide weather reports, news headlines, stock updates and personal schedule all on one screen.

Features:

• Super Amoled Screen: It is bright and eye-catching-20% brighter and 80% more visible in sunlight, the company claims, than the general Amoled screen.
• Less battery consumption: It also uses 20% less battery
• High Resolution Touchscreen: The 3.3-inch display with a high-resolution touchscreen adds the wow factor to viewing experience—both videos and photos
• 1 GHz CPU: The phone’s ultra fast 1 GHz CPU enables seamless HD video playback, a great gaming experience and the running of multiple applications at the same time.
• Multitasking: Multitasking is easy and there are ten home screens that can be customized.
• Social-networking: he phone’s integrated Social Hub feature brings together all major email portals and SNS services directly. Managing all contacts is possible at one place, without getting confused.
• 5 Megapixel Camera: The 5-megapixel camera comes with the usual bells & whistles—LED flash, autofocus, face and blink detection, beauty shot, smile shot, panorama shot, geo-tagging, and built-in image editor.

The Samsung Wave is a good-looking device with a streamlined aluminium body and strong tempered glass display. The black and gray color combination, however, puts it firmly in the business category—a few brighter color options would be welcome. The phone is priced at Rs 19,100.
