Samsung Wave 723 Review

October 30th, 2010 Dane

The Samsung Wave 723 is a low-end Bada handset that will no doubt turn heads with its price. At just 240 euros, the Wave 723 is a good starter device for someone coming from a feature phone that wants to experience a smartphone  or someone wanting to learn what the Bada OS is all about without breaking the bank. Hopefully after reading this review, you will have a better idea of what the Wave 723 is all about since it is not as popular as its big brother (Wave S8500).

Display

The screen of the Wave 723 comes in at 3.2 inches which is not much bigger than the Wave’s 3.3 inches. The screen on the 723 is capable of 256,000 colors and has a pixel density of 240×400. The biggest difference (or drawback) is that the Wave 723 uses an LCD screen…not Samsung’s Super AMOLED display. This means that the screen on the 723 will use more power and not be as bright as the Wave’s screen. The Wave 723 does have an accelorometer which allows the user to turn the phone horizontally to view webpages and pictures. The screen on the Wave 723 is also a capacitive screen with multitouch enabled allowing users to “pinch to zoom” when viewing pictures, webpages, etc. Overall, the screen is pretty decent one for a low end device.

Power and Operating System

The Wave 723 does not disappoint under the hood. The phone is powered by a 600mhz  processor and will come with 90mb of internal memory. There also is a microSD card slot that will support up to a 16gb card for added storage. The phone will run TouchWiz 3.0 ontop of Samsung’s Bada OS. Overall, the phone is quite snappy and should be able to handle most functions easily.

Connectivity Options

When it comes to connectivity, the Wave 723 offers some good options. The phone will have built in WiFi (b/g/n) along with 3G connectivity at HSDPA to 900 and 2,100MHz which is capable of download speeds of 7.2Mbps. The  Samsung Wave 723 is operating on frequencies GSM 850, 900, 1,800 and 1,900 MHz. You can add GPRS and EDGE class 10 with a multislot 32. It has Bluetooth 3.0 which will transmit information at 24Mbps, a rate 8 times higher than previous versions of Bluetooth. Last but not least, the Wave 723 has a 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB 2.0 port for charging and connecting to a computer. The phone powers on using a 1200-1500 milliamperes battery.

PhoneArena Review of Samsung Wave 723

September 29th, 2010 Dane

PhoneArena has just done a written and video review of the Samsung Wave 723 and overall, it got some good reviews for being a mid-range handset!

According to PhoneArena, Samsung has created a pretty compelling mid-rangе bada device. Some elements like web browsing and stability are still rough around the edges in Samsung’s mobile OS, but it shows good promise. If only Samsung could speed up applications development, it will have decent alternative to the major mobile operating systems in the low- to mid-range smartphones, where bada was intended for.

The distinguishable feature of the Wave 723 – that leather flap that covers the screen – is also its Achilles heel. It gets to you in more ways than one, and makes talking and typing very uncomfortable. Even for a simple task, like checking the time, you have to flip it open. Honestly, without it, the Samsung Wave 723 is a much better handset designwise. Thankfully, Samsung has provided a way to change it, or remove it completely, for those of us who like the Wave 723 better without it.

Samsung Wave 723 to Launch in China!

September 25th, 2010 Rison Simon

This is a guest post from Rison Simon of  badavideos.com

In an attempt to strengthen its presence on one of the larger handset markets in the world, Samsung plans to launch its successful Bada phones in China, the Samsung Wave 723. Also known as Samsung GT-S7230, the smartphone is expected to include most of the features of the international version.

Samsung Wave 723 will be sold through China Unicom, one of the three major carriers in China, and will be compatible with Bada SDK 1.1.

This is the fourth phone developed by Samsung that will run its own proprietary mobile operating system, Bada.

After the first Samsung Wave success in Europe, where it was sold in more than 1 million units, the Korean manufacturer continued the series with two low-end Bada phones, Samsung Wave 2 and Samsung Wave 2 Pro.

While the new Samsung Wave 723 is a step up from the previous Bada phones, it still cannot be considered a high-end smartphone.

If China Unicom’s Wave 723 smartphone will retain most of the technical specs of the international version it will look like this: 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels resolution), accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate, TouchWiz UI 3.0, Multi-touch support, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, 90 MB internal memory, and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 16GB).

Other key features of the smartphone may include: 5.0-megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps, 3.5 mm audio jack, GPS with A-GPS support, Stereo FM radio with RDS and FM recording

We’re not sure yet how this smartphone will handle the country’s regulations regarding the Wi-Fi connectivity, but even without it the phone is very tempting for the Chinese market.

There’s no information yet regarding its exact launching date or price tag, but we should expect the device to land on China Unicom next month.
