  • Responsive Super AMOLED screen, excellent overall build and design
  • Bada OS is on its early stage, only has a few offerings
  • Having said what I did about the Bada OS’s need for further development and establishment, it’s safe to say that it is not really a good idea to go out and grab a unit of the Samsung Wave. The Bada OS’s better years are still ahead of it, and even if ...

  • Abstract:  Just when we were just about ready to snatch up that 60,000-peso iPhone 4 lurking around in Greenhills (what, we're impulsive like that), Samsung intercepts us and gives us a whiff of their awesome new phone, the Samsung Wave.The Wave is Samsung's first p...

  • The Samsung Wave touts to be the first phone based on Samsung's Bada open platform that claims to provide users with rich, connected and innovative experiences. The smartphone is powered by 1GHz processor, and features 3.3-inch Super AMOLED display (48...

  • Abstract:  Samsung Wave S8500 es la apuesta de Samsung por una plataforma propia, Bada, en un mercado en el que compiten sistemas operativos de la talla de Android, Symbian, iOS o Windows Phone. Su baza, tal y como declara Samsung, es que no tiene intención de e...

  • A l’issue de ce test, le bilan est donc tout à fait satisfaisant pour le nouveau smartphone développé par Samsung. On peut même dire que le constructeur coréen frappe ici un très grand coup en nous proposant un terminal très polyvalent, dépourvu de défaut...

  • C’est avec une certaines curiosité que nous avons pris en main ce Samsung Wave, et découvert le nouveau système d’exploitation propriétaire de Samsung, appelé Bada. Au final, c’est plutôt une bonne surprise : malgré son jeune âge, pouvant expliquer qu...

  • La qualité de l'écran (Amoled, capacitif, définition), les possibilités de personnalisation des fenêtres, la puissance du processeur, la qualité de l'enregistrement vidéo, la qualité de fabrication, la facilité générale d’usage
  • La qualité d'usage moindre de Googe Maps et de la navigation Web (comparée aux concurrents iPhone, HTC Desire), la perte fréquente de la réception de la radio FM, le nombre actuel relativement faible d'applications compatibles Bada
  • Le Samsung Wave est le premier smartphone à rouler sous Bada, le nouveau système d'exploitation lancé par le fabriquant sud coréen. Il est pourvu de plusieurs technologies dernier cri. Ecran Amoled éblouissant, processeur hyperpuissant, système de pers...

  • Écran sublime, Capture de vidéos HD, Samsung Apps
  • Quelques ralentissements, Multitâche parfois limité, Samsung Wave (S8500)
  • Avant de conclure, signalons tout de même que le Samsung Wave impressionne aussi grâce à ses fonctions téléphoniques. La qualité d’écoute en émission et réception est assez correcte mais n’offre rien d’exceptionnel. Non, ce qui nous a en revanche vraim...

  • Excellent rapport qualité prix / Tethering, Rendu de l'écran Super Amoled / Tuner FM, Puissance ébouriffante / Compatible DivX, Capture HD remarquable / lis les MKV 720p
  • A2DP seulement avec lecteur audio, Compatibilité Flash très aléatoire, Applics sur mémoire système uniquement, Performances GPS médiocres depuis MàJ
  • La présentation des premiers prototypes du Wave (lors du Mobile World Congress de Barcelone) ne nous avait pas vraiment enthousiasmés. Sous une ligne on ne peut plus conventionnelle se cachait un OS rongé par les bugs(blocages à répétition) qui laissait d...
