Price last checked: 17 Oct 2011. Confirm current price before buying.
This one's a throwback. The Wave 3 runs on a 1.4 GHz Scorpion processor paired with 4 GB of storage, expandable via microSD up to 32 GB, and shows content on a 4.0-inch Super AMOLED screen at 480 x 800 resolution. Samsung S8600 Wave 3 price in Malaysia starts from RM930, putting it firmly in budget territory by today's standards.
The rear camera sits at 5 MP with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 720p video at 30fps, while a VGA front camera handles basic selfies. Battery capacity is 1500 mAh, modest even for its era, housed in a body that's just 9.9mm thick and weighs 122g.
What sets this phone apart from most Android options is bada OS v2.0, Samsung's own platform before it shifted fully to Android. That makes it a device for a specific kind of buyer, more collector or curiosity than daily driver in 2024's app ecosystem.
