The successor to the original Wave, the Samsung Wave 2 features a large 3.7 inch display, generating 480 x 800 powerful pixels. Under the hood is a 1,000MHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor, making the Wave is as powerful as it is feature-savvy.
Packed into its thin profile you'll find a 5MP camera with LED flash, Hi-Def video record, MP3 player with music recognition, FM radio, full HTML internet browser (Dolfin 2.0), and native support for Facebook and Twitter.
Rounding out the feature set is GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi, 3.5mm headset jack and memory expansion up to 32GB.
The Samsung Wave 2 has a talk time up to 6.8 hours and a standby time up to 620 hours.
