The Samsung Wave II S8530 (or "Samsung Wave II") is a discontinued smartphone developed and produced by Samsung Electronics. It is the successor of the Samsung Wave S8500 smartphone and runs on Samsung's Bada 1.2 operating system, which was commercially released in October 2010. [1] [2] [3] The Wave II is a touchscreen phone powered by a proprietary 1 GHz ARM Cortex-8 CPU and a built-in PowerVR SGX 540 graphics engine, SLCD display and a 720p camera. [4] As the phone contained an LCD display, SlashGear speculated that the phone could be the result of a rumored AMOLED panel shortage. [5]

The 3 most notable widgets preinstalled in TouchWiz 3.0 are Daily Briefing, which includes information such as weather, finance, AP mobile news, and schedule, Feeds and Updates, and Buddies Now, allowing users to call, send texts to, and read Facebook or Twitter feeds off their contacts. Users are allowed to have up to 10 home screens to add widgets.

Applications

Samsung Wave is preinstalled with Dolphin Browser v2.0 (based on WebKit). While the browser supports Flash, it is disabled by default to improve page load time.

Android Porting

Due to many owners of the phone disliking the Bada software, many people[ who? ] have worked on porting Android OS to the Wave 2. The known ported versions are Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and KitKat. However, they are still being developed, and some features, such as GPS, may be limited or not function as intended. [11]
