Samsung announces S8530 Wave II, meet the big-screen edition

04 October, 2010
You thought the Samsung Wave 2 was the successor to the Wave, didn't you? We too - but it's not, the Samsung S8530 Wave II is the real deal. The screen has grown to 3.7-inches and all the great features...

Whose this, saying "battery life"?! OLED is much much and much more energy efficient than LCD! But one could say - "Display Life"! OLED is believed to have shorter life than LCDs !

                No super amoled. No purchase. Stick with original. Perfect weight, size. Still the best screen. Even the girlfriends i4 can't compare with the inky blackness and stunning colours.

                                  The original Wave was too long for me. Now Wave II is huge, way too huge! In this body they may have placed a 4.3 inches display. This 3.7 inch would have been nice in the original Wave...

                                    Yes! they listen to me.
                                    I loved the wave but wished they put in a 3.7 inch.
                                    but no super amoled? where is the 8 mp camera?
                                    in anycase this is the new king pin of the smart phone world..

                                      Sweet, Wave 2!

                                      It's got a bigger screen. Oh, but wait, it's the same resolution as the original Wave and it's *not* SAMOLED. oookkkkk. But it's the Wave 2 so they must have put a larger camera sensor in it, right?. Oh, it has the same 5MP camera as the original wave. Ok ok, but it's bigger so it must have a bigger battery. Oh, it has the same 1500mAh battery found in the original Wave. But it's at least faster, right? Oh, it also shares the same 1-GHz A8 processor as the original Wave, too.

                                      Uhhh, why am I suppose to buy this again?

                                        Super AMOLEDS are different from plain AMOLEDS..
                                        Nokia used plain AMOLEDS with CBD technology..
