Samsung Electronics Corp. is ramping up efforts to lure more users on its own mobile operating system, unveiling today three new smartphones running on Bada OS.
The South Korean electronics and tech giant now offers the Samsung Wave 3, Samsung Wave M and the Samsung Wave Y handsets, an important move that suggests a step-down from the company’s heavy dependence on Google’s Android mobile platform.
Known specs for each handset: Wave 3 comes with a 4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display housed by a “full metal” body and a 5-Megapixel rear camera, Wave M features a 3.65-inch touchscreen display running on an 832 MHz processor, and Wave Y is an entry level smartphone with a 3.2-inch display to be available within October.
As introduced all three new handsets comes with Bada OS 2.0, featuring direct Wi-Fi-sharing, NFC capability, voice recognition, and access to over 13,000 Samsung apps.
Apple has filed a barrage of lawsuits wherever an Android-based Samsung product sells, and this initiative to offer Bada OS smartphones could help the latter remain competent in the lower-end of the mobile market.
