Samsung Galaxy Ace
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread
- 3.5G
- 3.5"

Released February, 2011
by GSM Arena (Feb, 2011)The thing is great when used with an active external amplifier and decent when a pair of headphones is plugged in, which is better than its price tag suggests.
Conclusion Check out the Samsung Galaxy Ace
First reviewed December, 2011
Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Ace
0.8 GHz
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 3.5G
Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)In terms of build quality, there's a certain plasticky feel to it but when some high-end smartphones like Samsung's own Galaxy S II also have a rather lightweight plastic build, the difference isn't glaringly obvious.
screen size
3.5"
4"
4"
Galaxy Ace by jlozano (Sep, 2012)The size is great, it's not too big, not too small and the screen is perfect enough.
Galaxy Ace by Randall-Barrantes-Serrano--R-s (Apr, 2012)Very good smartphone, is not as big as the SII or the new Note, but it has most of the same features, just in a smaller screen, still very good size.
screen resolution
Galaxy Ace by David (Jan, 2012)The resolution is HVGA (340x480), and while the screen isn't (by far) rich in details, paired with the digitizer (I think that's the name of the capacitive input piece) it provides a very nice touch feedback.
Galaxy Ace by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)The photos have an excellent amount of detail, they have very little noise, the exposure and white balance are spot on and the colors look good (with the usual dose of oversaturation).
memory
| 0 GB | 0.77 GB   | 0.8 GB |
processor
Galaxy Ace by Camilo (Apr, 2013)I'm quite pleased with this cell phone because it has many improvements over version S5830 (ACE), in terms of speed (since it is dual core), ergonomics, screen and graphics, also has more storage memory for applications (rather negative aspect in the ACE version).
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP  | 5 MP |
Galaxy Ace by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)As ever, the Orange San Francisco makes for a compelling alternative thanks to its larger, higher resolution screen, but the Ace has a nicer design, faster processor and better camera.
Galaxy Ace by c|net (Feb, 2011)Features on the Galaxy S 4G include a 5-megapixel camera, a second front-facing camera, a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor, and support for T-Mobile's 4G network.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Ace
cpu speed
Galaxy Ace by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)Never mind the higher clock speed, Qualcomm processors aren't famous for wide video codec support.
Galaxy Ace by David (Jan, 2012)Granted, if you do any graphics/CPU intensive - which is basically any game on this phone - it will drain fast.
browser benchmark
Galaxy Ace by GSM Arena (Feb, 2011)Regardless, it’s still readable and panning and zooming are fast so the Galaxy Ace scores a good mark in web browsing.
Galaxy Ace by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)It's not a superb browser by the latest standards, with pretty rudimentary use of tabs and so-so speed, but it'll do the job for most.

talk time

410 min
Galaxy Ace by GSM Arena (Jul, 2012)If you stick to 2G you get up to 16 h 20 min of talk time or 670 h of stand-by.
Galaxy Ace by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)On 2G networks, the 1300 mAh battery is quoted at 670 hours of standby (420 h in 3G) and up to 11 hours of talk time (7 h 20 min in 3G).

W is the camera clarity less and pictures appear blur and dark?
Though it's a 8MP camera with HD recording facility, the pictures are blur and appears to be dark and least quality. pics taken from less standard symbian mobiles are more good.
