The hardware of Samsung Wave is simply amazing. It’s perhaps one of the best to come out of Samsung’s labs. But the same cannot be said about its operating system, Bada. It’s mediocre to say the least when compared to the latest OS rage, Google’s Android. Even now, if it was loaded on to a device priced in the range of Rs 12,000-14,000, it would have made sense.
Although the worth and looks is top notch, Samsung has goofed up on the useful aspect. The problem lies with the buttons on the side panels which unlock and control the phone’s volume. You may end up pressing the wrong buttons because of its placement.
The phone is very slim — just 11 mm. It’s very good looking and its metallic build is top quality. Feature-wise, the Wave is jam-packed. There is the HD video recording, Samsung’s 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 512 MB RAM, a super AMOLED 3.3” screen, capacitative multi-touch and a 5-megapixel camera.
Even with all these features, if we’re asked to pick between the Wave, an Android device (say a HTC Legend) and an iPhone 3GS, the Wave would be our second choice.
