Samsung spared no expense in launching the Samsung Wave at Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona this week. From the billboard advertising that leaked the new phone before the formal event, to the event itself and the magnitude of the showfloor stand, Samsung certainly wants people to know about the Wave. Fortunately we were on hand to tell you all about it.
There's a good reason why Samsung is making a big deal out of the Wave: it's the company's first handset that runs on their new Bada platform. Creating an ecosystem to surround your mobile phone handsets is serious business and with a growing interest in mobile gaming and applications, this is potentially what will define the success of the handset. Longevity will depend on providing the flexibilities and freedom of choice that smartphone users demand.
But the Samsung Wave isn't just about the Bada platform. A big part of it is about the hardware. It seems a fitting follow-on to some of the praise we lauded on the Omnia HD/i8910 last year - that screen was sensational, and the Wave is even better. The new Super AMOLED display is staggeringly sharp, with bags of contrast and deep blacks that really give your content definition.
It has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, which on a 3.3-inch screen is very impressive. The display also offers wide viewing angles and isn't prone to the high degree of reflections that some screens are. It incorporates some of the technology that Samsung are putting into their televisions. It certainly sets the bar high for others to follow.
