Four New Devices to Feature Bada OS

The Bada operating system is the new mobile platform developed by Samsung. The OS was announced last year and was shown off to developers by December. According to reports, many developer and companies were eager to support to new open source platform.

It was not until last February that Samsung finally unveiled the Wave smart phone, the very first device to use the new Bada operating system. Aside from the new OS, the phone also features the super AMOLED touch screen (which we all loved, thanks to the impressive visuals and the rich color tones; this is probably the only screen to get so close to achieving true black).

While focus on the Wave smart phone was short, Samsung proved that it can produce a great smart phone that balanced high end specifications with reasonable features that placed the Wave at a slightly lower price (though it is still a pretty expensive device) and this is most likely the trend that Samsung is aiming for with their new Bada handsets.

According to reports, each of the new Samsung Bada phones will have lower specs than the last, placing each of the device in the mid to low range smart phone market where the saturation of buyers is at the largest. With all the big name manufacturers competing for the high end market, Samsung will not have much competition for the mid range department (though the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini and Mini Pro Androids would be something to look out for).

Details on the actual hardware for the new phones have not been announced, but as seen in the initial images, two of the four devices will comes with slide out QWERTY keyboards –all four phones will be using touch screen displays.
