Samsung Wave 525

Zitat: Pro: + Top-notch hardware + Zippy performance + Great multimedia experience Contra: - On-screen keyboard needs work - Social Hub only does half the job it should - App store isn´t filtered by local language Bolstered by excellent hardware and performance, the Samsung Wave outshines most phones at a similar price and showcases the promise of the Bada OS.

Zitat: Pros: + Image and video editing capabilities + Music recognition service Cons: - Low screen resolution - Lack of DivX/Xvid support - No dedicated gallery app The Samsung Wave 525 is a decent low-end handset, mainly due to bada OS offering much built-in functionality that until recently was only reserved for the iOS/Android devices, like image editing and music recognition apps integrated into the platform. We still don’t have any pricing details for it, so it is hard to judge if it overshoots or underestimates its respective market niche, but we’d be willing to wager that Samsung will be charging decently for the device. It certainly makes a good starter phone for those who are just entering the smartphone world – they will have all basic functionalities present out of the box. As alternatives we would point out the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, which is an Android phone, and supports 3G speeds, or the low-end Symbian smartphone Nokia 5250.

Zitat: Was uns gefällt: + günstiger Preis + flotte WLANund Bluetooth-Standards Was uns nicht gefällt: - kratzempfindliche Oberfläche - kein UMTS / HSPA - weder Blitz noch Foto-LED Abgesehen vom schnellen Internet-Zugang über das Handy-Netz bringt das Wave 525 (fast) alles mit, was das Herz begehrt. Die Materialauswahl mit Kunststoffscheibe und Plastik-Rückseite zeigt zwar auf Anhieb, das hier an der Kostenschraube gedreht wurde, aber dennoch: So viel Touchscreen-Handy für so wenig Geld ist derzeit einzigartig.
