Camera
Like every other phone we’ve seen in the recent past, the Wave 3 also comes with a 5 mp shooter. But guess what, it’s the quality that the Wave 3 dishes out that makes it stand out from the crowd. The camera is great for outdoor shots and with touch focus, macro shots come out pretty neat as well. _161707504989_640x360.jpg) Touch focus
With 720p video recording, we did notice some colour banding, but we’re not going to be complaining much, because more expensive phones have disappointed us more.
Indoor shots are impressive as well
Battery Life
The Wave 3 comes with a 1,500 mAh battery and the phone easily lasts over a day on normal usage. In our video loop test, the Wave 3 lasted for a super awesome ten hours and twenty five minutes, with automatic brightness and no connectivity options (besides calling) enabled.
Worth a buy?
Verdict
The Samsung Wave 3 is priced at Rs. 16,500 (MOP). As you can see, it pretty much impressed us in all, but one department, the App store. If Samsung do manage to sort that bit out, we’ve got a powerful phone capable of challenging Android and iOS. As of now, at this price bracket, there’s not much to offer, besides the Galaxy Ace Plus, which we think is quite overpriced. For 1,500 bucks more you get the Neo V, but if you’re looking for something under 17K, and have no requirement for 10000 apps, the Wave 3 is for you. |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.

If you’ve used any of Samsung’s flagships in the past, you’ll be right at home with the new S4. We quite liked the handset during our brief encounter with it a few weeks back and after using it for about a week, we have come to like it even more.
