A year after the launch of Samsung Wave I, Samsung Wave III arrived. The third generation of the Wave models runs a completely redesigned Bada OS 2.0, featuring bigger and better 4-inch touch screen. The new Bada 2.0 has some pleasantly surprising changes comparing to the first version of this OS: the redesigned home screen, gallery, internet, browser, etc.
Samsung Wave S8600
Samsung S8600 stands for entertainment, and one of its main points is multimedia, just like in its previous versions. Large SuperAMOLED touch screen, supporting 16 million colours and protected by a Gorilla Glass covering, is great for watching videos, browsing the internet, etc. And it should be mentioned that this mobile phone has the ability to add subtitles thanks to its support of Divx / Xvid, MP4, MKV formats.
Taking everything in consideration, Samsung S8600 Wave 3 presents as an excellent device. It has so many great features that set it as a leading smartphone. The Bada upgrade looks great, with User Interface which is very easy to use. It seems that the Wave 3 has more that enough to offer against the wide range of Android smartphones.
