The Wave is the newest offering from Samsung, and boasts a very high specification and top end technology that will appeal to smartphone fans the world over.
With regards to design the Samsung Wave scores top marks. The ultra slimline chassis has an impressive metallic look and feel that stands it apart from the competitors. Measuring 118 x 56 x 10.9mm, the unit is a small as it dares be without sacrificing the quality and size of the screen, and what a screen it is. The display boasts a staggering resolution of 480 x 800 and can show over 16 million colours, but perhaps the most impressive aspect of the screen is its use of new super AMOLED technology. This type of display is brighter and less reflective than any other, meaning the phone performs exceptionally well when being used outdoors in sunlight, a problem for many modern handsets. A wider viewing angle is also offered from the screen as well as less of a drain on the battery. The capacitive touchscreen responds very well to user input and measures 3.3". Apart from the screen, the front of the Wave is very minimalist, displaying just the three buttons beneath the screen which display the menu and call and terminate calls. A look around the rest of the sleek design and you will find a 3.5mm headphone jack, volume keys, camera shutter and a lock key in addition to a micro USB port for easy data transfer to a home PC.
Another of the really stand out features on the Samsung Wave is a very high quality camera facility. Despite being the industry standard 5 mega pixels, it is the quality of the camera rather than the specification that impresses. Pictures are sharp and clear with great clarity. An LED flash is fitted to the handset to brighten up potentially dull or dark photographs. The shutter speed of the camera also impresses, really cutting down on the time delay between pressing the button and capturing the photo, that you find on many other models. With regards to other facilities, Autofocus, face detection and smile detection can all be found on the wave, resulting in a lovely quality of photograph. And rather than the video capture facility being an afterthought, Samsung have excelled themselves by allowing the Wave to capture footage in High Definition. Not only does this produce a super level of image, but will also automatically appeal to the masses of people owning a high definition television.
The Samsung Wave is a smartphone in every sense of the word. Wherever you look on the phone you will find top specification, be it in the excellent camera or crystal clear screen.
