We already know that the Samsung Wave 2 Pro is on the way but it looks like the handset may not exactly be a clear successor to the original Wave. The good news is that the company is looking to make this handset more affordable than the original Wave so some specs are cut back a bit. The Wave 2 Pro is said to feature a 3.2-inch touchscreen WQVGA display, a 3MP camera, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard (that looks quite good), a 3.5mm headphone jack, an FM radio, aGPS / Bluetooth 2.1 / WiFi b/g/n support, 80MB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a 1,200mAh battery, and Bada with the Touchwiz 3.0 UI.

The Wave 2 is expected to feature quite a similar spec sheet but it'll be slightly thinner because it won't feature the QWERTY keyboard.

As expected, Samsung has unveiled a bunch of new handsets at CommunicAsia that will hit the market later this year. First up is what you see above, the Wave 2 (S5250). This handset is going to be cheaper than the original Wave and it'll also be Bada-powered. Below is a picture of the Wave 2 Pro (S5530) which packs a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. There's four more handsets below so don't miss them.

Samsung has also unveiled two more WinMo 6.5 powered handsets, the Omnia Pro 4 (bottom left) and the Omnia Pro 5 (bottom right). The former is actually sporting a touchscreen display and will be available sometime in July in Europe, CIS, and Southeast Asia, the latter won't have a touchscreen display but it'll be available in August in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, India, and Latin America. The Omnia Pro 4 sports a 2.62-inch display with a 320 x 320 resolution, dual-band (900/2100MHz) 3G connectivity, a 3.2MP AF camera; the Omnia Pro 5 features a 2.4-inch display with a 240 x 320 resolution, a 2MP camera, and tri-band (900/1900/2100MHz) 3G bands. Of course, both of them feature an FM radio, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g / Bluetooth support, and aGPS. Look out for all of them soon.
