The world''s most popular consumer electronics brand since 2005 has been Samsung. It totally dominates the TV market, but although it is a major player in mobile communication it doesn''t have quite the same kind of market presence. Nokia leads the pack of mobile phone producers with over 40% of the market and although Samsung comes in second, it is well behind with only around 20% market share. Sony Ericsson, Motorola and a range of others make up small percentages of the remaining 40%. Samsung''s problems get even worse when it comes to smartphones. Smartphone use is on the up. Year-on-year smartphones sales in the final quarter of 2009 were up 41% whereas sales of more traditional handsets saw a decline. Apple and Research in Motion''s BlackBerry are two of the biggest winners of this shift to smartphones. Both have managed to make giant gains in the past two years and each now represent about 15% of worldwide smartphone sales after Nokia. So how does Samsung overcome this issue and win back a decent market share in the smartphone sector? The answer is the Samsung Wave. Bursting onto the mobile phone scene in Europe on 1 June sleek new handset will be the first to run on Bada, Samsung''s very own operating system. This light, slim and utterly stylish phone comes with a 1GHz processor, 3.3 inch AMOLED touch screen that is ultra-bright and sharp and is the first ever mobile to boast Bluetooth 3.0 incorporated with Wi-Fi 802.11n. It has a more than decent five mega-pixel camera that benefits from auto focus, face, smile and blink recognition, an LED flash and geo-tagging facility. It can also be used as a video camera, which boasts continuous auto-focus and lighting. The screen is HD too, making view a pleasure and the surround sound is joy for your ears. Thanks to the fast and accurate operating system the phone is remarkably easy to use. It has seven customisable home screens and you can choose your level of connectively to sites such as Facebook and Twitter so you can get real-time alerts when something new happens in your world. Basically, the freedom of the Bada operating system means you don''t need to rely on a PC to do more complicated things such as upload photos to Facebook or write anything longer than a Tweet. With an OS this slick, Google''s Android better watch out.
