Many intrigues have already been surrounding Samsung’s Bada OS and it’s features, since its announcement in November 2009, even before it’s official presentation at MWC 2010 in Barcelona on Sunday evening. Questions that most frequently rise are – does the world need another Smartphone OS, and how is it different from the existing ones, especially Android and Windows Mobile? Even so, it seems as the new phone and OS are especially targeted towards bringing the already known functions to all the users at an affordable price, especially ones outside of the US, since it is aimed at users regardless of their geographic location and the app store will initially support 50 countries. Social networking aspect seems very important, too (now there’s a surprise!), although the phone protoype itself wasn’t used in the presentation, which was a bit disappointing to some of the attendees.
Other features of the phone include the ones we have seen before, like 3G and WiFi connectivity, GPS sensor, a motion sensor, WQVGA/WVGA display and multitouch-support running a new TouchWiz 3.0 UI.
It seems that Samsung Wave is just the beggining of the Bada (meaning “ocean” in Korean) story. We are looking forward to seeing (and touching) it live in the first part of the year.
