Samsung sets in terms of the Wave display to the new super-AMOLED technology. Purpose is to show the contrast and colors clearer and more beautiful, but consume less power and space. In fact, the display picture looks beautiful plastic. Writings is the Samsung S8500 is knackscharf Wave, images and videos appear almost like a full HD TV. Briefly: in marked contrast to other mobile phone displays can be seen - even compared to "normal" AMOLED devices.Samsung S8500 Wave (Handy) Test Review
Samsung advertises its new display technology as particularly glare - to up to five times less sunlight is reflected. This statement, we can confirm only partially: In sunlight, the display of the test reflects Koreans as strong as, for example, from the iPhone. After all: if you see on the side of the phone, the display can still read in sunlight. For mobile phones with standard screen are details on the screen no longer visible.
Let's stay in touch: Its diagonal measures 3.3 inches (43 x 72 millimeters). For our taste is a little too narrow, finger-friendly mobile phones offer many more loose 3.7 inches. Very good is our opinion in matters of Operation: The Capacitive touch screen responds promptly and accurately already light finger inputs, provides icons are large enough - and the virtual QWERTY keyboard is of sufficient size.
Our test runs fast and stable, for the 1-GHz processor is responsible. Multitasking is for the wave is usually not a problem. Only in resource-hungry programs, such as a graphically complex game "Asphalt 5", you should run in parallel with any other large applications. What programs are currently active, incidentally, shows the task manager, you call on a long pressing the central button.
Menu distributed: On several levels. Bada spiced: with TouchWiz
To anticipate: the revolutionary operating system Bada is not. It reminds us of a mixture of Android and Samsung's proprietary OS. For about the OS Samsung also throws in its user interface TouchWiz 3.0 ". Well we like the many personalization options - such as the adjustable menu and the possible start up to ten screens, which you can assign apps and widgets with almost clear.
As with other phones is the wave of social networking via the Web on the program. The "social hub" integrates contacts, and the matching e-mails, text messages and sync social network information in an application - not a new idea, but thoroughly practical and extended with a few features, such as the possibility, even Outlook data and dates . In the test the integration of Facebook and Twitter contacts, worked together with the linking of existing fixed telephone numbers and smoothly.
Bada means ocean, and to arouse associations with the almost infinite possibilities of an open operating system. The new Samsung-Apps, however, can not speak of infinite content: For the test time were just 79 apps ready. By year-end should the number be at least four digits. Samsung itself is clear, so that they do not compete with iTunes and the Android Market are. The company indicated that they would rather pay attention to quality. The Payment options are still limited: only by credit card, the purchase of pay-apps possible. In a statement of the cell phone bill is being worked on.
Test Pattern: Fine, sharp, colorful. WLAN and Bluetooth: Two Premiere
The features list is a mile long, 5-megapixel camera, 2 GB of internal memory (expandable to 32 GB), positioning using A-GPS, WLAN with the latest n standard, Bluetooth 3.0 and, and, and. How does this affect the practice? Megapixels are not everything that is shown by the camera. Despite "only" 5 megapixel pictures look very light-very sharp and colorful. When double-LED light but you should not be too close to the object, otherwise the subject overexposed. Test photos available in our gallery. When capturing video, amateur filmmakers get their money: The Wave takes movies with 1280 x 720 pixels. This HD-ready resolution provide only a few other cell phones.
Wireless-n is a real novelty in the mobile phones. Clear transfer rates of up to 450 Mbit / s can not be achieved. However, the cell phone using wireless surf the web pretty fast, felt a bit faster than phones with WLAN b / g standard. Web pages are displayed like on the PC, via multi-touch to zoom in content. Only Flash pages, the browser refused. no WLAN is available, it goes via HSDPA (3.6 Mbit / s) online. The speedy upload via HSUPA does not support the S8500 Wave. The Wave is the first mobile phone that supports 6402426: Bluetooth 3.0 | _blank. The technology, which relies on wireless promises to significantly more transmission speed. However, you need a compatible device. So far there are only a few notebooks with a Bluetooth 3.0 interface, such as Acer.
Display Comparison: Significantly greater contrast than the iPhone 3G. Plenty of room at the factory
The MP3 player is equipped with all the usual bits and pieces, and offers to eight presets, such as rock or concert, which alter the sound significantly. This is a good thing, because with bass-heavy songs, the sound is via the supplied in-ear earphone partly from too dull. The FM radio shows itself in the strongest reception and can be buildings right on the automatic station search quickly fill with transmitters.
As a navigation solution is the Wave of the Route 66 software is used, which we already know from Omnia models. 30 days, you can try the tool, then around 35 € per year are due - including maps (DA-CH). is space for photos, music and videos are starting extradition enough: The 2 GB of internal memory has about 1.5 GB free. With a memory card you can expand the memory to a maximum of 32 GB.
For business users, the mobile phone is less. For classical applications like Office Mobile and the voice missing from the Wave. After all, push mail via Exchange ActiveSync is possible. The service mobile tracker, which sends for the theft of mobile phones a pre-determined phone number a SMS, has been extended. Now you can remotely delete sensitive data. The function call on the other hand illusion simulates a call when you want to get rid unremarkable example of an unpleasant situation.
Battery: 1,500 mAh strong. It runs and runs and runs ...
A true record puts the phone in our battery test on the dance floor: Rich was 7.5 hours in continuous conversation with the phone at full power. By comparison, the previous record had been six hours (LG GW620), creates a good battery, to a maximum of four to five hours. If you use the facilities of the Wave full, you need to recharge naturally more frequent. Our tester was after about 13 hours mobile phone use slack. During this time we surfed very well and often and shot like 50 photos in all light conditions.
Our decision in terms of telephone acoustic is mixed: On the mobile side voices were good and clear across, but too low to cover fixed side and a bit nasal. When Handsfree it behaved the other way around: good quality fixed-line side, scheppriger sound on the phone.
Lisa Brack, editor. Conclusion
Super AMOLED, wireless-n and Bluetooth 3.0 - the Samsung Wave lead them three new technologies into the mobile world. Particularly positive is the slim wave rider on in terms of touch-screen convenience and pace of work. A big plus is also the extremely powerful camera and the battery stamina. With these outstanding values, it creates the Wave to the top position of our cell phone rankings.
