It&#8217;s running the new Bada OS, and has one of those 3.3-inch <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5466561\/samsungs-touchscreen-amoled-phone-shown-off-ahead-of-big-reveal-next-week\">SUPER AMOLED screens we saw before<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The SUPER AMOLED screen is a 3.3-inch capacitive job, with an 800 x 480 resolution&mdash;not shabby, to say the least. The larger 3.5-inch display of the iPhone for example has 480 x 320 pixels. Anyway, it&#8217;s also the first phone to have Bluetooth 3.0, as rumored yesterday, using the 802.11 protocol for transferring data at around 24Mbps. Speedy-fast, you could say.<\/p>\n<p>A 1Ghz processor and 2GB of storage has been popped into the typical-looking Samsung exterior, along with a 5.0-megapixel camera (with autofocus and flash), capable of shooting video at 720p. Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA connectivity round it off.<\/p>\n<p>Going back to the Bada OS, this was <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5401326\/why-did-samsung-just-announce-another-mobile-os\">first unveiled in November<\/a> but now we know that it&#8217;s compatible with Samsung&#8217;s TouchWiz 3.0 interface (a step up from the 2.0 Plus, which was <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5467479\/samsung-monte-s5620-phone-gets-early-reveal-prior-to-mwc\">seen on the leaked Monte last week<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be out in April, and while I&#8217;ve never particularly been impressed by a Samsung phone before (far from it, in fact), the Wave does have some interesting specs&mdash;like that AMOLED display. Wait and hear our verdict when we get hands-on with it, because as you know&#8230;things don&#8217;t always turn out like the marketer boasts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cache.gawkerassets.com\/assets\/images\/4\/2010\/02\/500x_wavewave.jpg\" class=\"left image500\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=a9a867318dbda8e0fe26f8aaef49ecc0&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=a9a867318dbda8e0fe26f8aaef49ecc0&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2226\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=x_rWFeer4u8:zADvAtIAsiE:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=x_rWFeer4u8:zADvAtIAsiE:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=x_rWFeer4u8:zADvAtIAsiE:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?i=x_rWFeer4u8:zADvAtIAsiE:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=x_rWFeer4u8:zADvAtIAsiE:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?i=x_rWFeer4u8:zADvAtIAsiE:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/gizmodo\/full\/~4\/x_rWFeer4u8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was hardly a well-kept secret by any stretch of the imagination, but at MWC Samsung&#8217;s Wave S8500 has raised its head.
