UPDATE: Full specs below.
Samsung has expanded its bada-powered Wave family with the latest addition of Wave 578 (GT-S5780). The new Wave 578 looks to be another mid-range device but comes with the inclusion of a Near Field Communications (NFC) chip. NFC chip allows users to initiate contactless payment as well as other services like door lock/unlock etc.
Since NFC support is expected in bada OS 2.0, we expect the phone to be powered by the new OS but Moveplayer suggests it runs on bada 1.2. As for other specs, the phone has a 3.2-inch WQVGA display, Social Hub, 3.2MP camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and support for video calls.
Samsung will offer the first glimpse of its bada 2.0 OS at MWC on Feb 15.

in above pic we can see 2 more sensor (?)
Those two extra sensors should be like in most phones, to shut off the screen while in call. Still no ambient light sensors from Samsung, I’d guess….
