Introduction
The unadorned form presented in the Samsung GT-S 8530 Wave II in ebony-gray color, which starting at just under 280 € (without contract, shipping and depending on the provider) is now available in the market. And it's even cheaper at launch than the previous Samsung GT-S8500 Wave. Samsung has, however, omitted the brilliant but expensive super AMOLED displays by the red pen set. Now a "Super Clear LCD" is used, and the screen size also grew to 3.7 inches (480 x 800 pixels). Whether this move proves to be clever, to clarify our test, because the "old" Wave mobile was highly recommended, just by its display. The Wave II has a powerful 1 GHz processor and an improved bada operating system (version 1.2 with new input method, T9 trace, firmware update, etc to enable the move to be a reliable companion. A memory expansion via Micro SD cards supports up to 32 GB. Built-in is a 5 MP camera, which does not exceed the average of the price range corresponds now. After all - many expensive Windows Phone 7 models have also only a 5 MP camera on it. In addition, video recordings are available in more than 720p resolution. Thanks to Bluetooth 3.0, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps and wireless-n, the Samsung S8530 can be used for fast data connections, and also it can be used in longer-term with its powerful 1500 mAh battery on board. Not quite so perfect is the navigation feature of the Samsung. While true, thanks to A-GPS receiver, at the base, but you can use navigation tool only at a particular costs. Now, we are going to check whether the Wave II proposes well as the successful predecessor in our test or not.
