Galaxy Ace 2 by jlozano (Sep, 2012)The size is great, it's not too big, not too small and the screen is perfect enough.
Galaxy Ace 2 by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)The phone remains relatively compact, despite the increase in screen size.
screen resolution

Galaxy Ace 2 by VM (Feb, 2013)The computer runs smoothly, has good details and execution, great team for daily use.

processor
Galaxy Ace 2 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 2 by Andres-Hernandez (Nov, 2012)Very good phone, excellent screen resolution, no lag whatsoever, and the camera does the job.
Galaxy Ace 2 by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)Samsung decided to keep the camera resolution on the new Galaxy Ace at 5MP, but they enabled 720p recording and added a front-facing camera.

Screen
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2012)The image looks sharp, with reasonably good viewing angles and pleasant colors.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)The image looks sharp, with very good viewing angles and pleasant colors.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)In practical terms it's perfectly fine, but doesn't make particularly effective use of screen space and - to our eyes at least - it doesn't look all that cool.
Apps
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2012)You can adjust the text size and subtitle sync.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)The integrated music player is the Samsung staple version, again offering a fairly unembellished but quick way to search through your music library.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | Rated 100% by by Renzo-Dalla-Ono--Renzo (Apr, 2013)It works very well... good camera definition... very useful apps... nice design... the touch scream works very well.
Video
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)The video player app is simple, comprised of a black 'n' white list of available files, with a small thumbnail image to accompany each.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)The framerate hits the 30 fps target easily and videos are very smooth.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2012)720p files usually played (including DivX, XviD and MKV files), but 1080p didn't work.
Camera
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)The 5MP camera lens is centrally placed near the top of the back panel, along with the LED flash.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2012)Around back, the 5MP camera lens is centrally placed near the top, along with the LED flash.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)A small internal speaker sits just to the right of the rear camera lens.
Type
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSPA mobile internet are all bog-standard in an Android phone, but Wi-Fi Direct and proper integrated DLNA support shouldn't be taken for granted quite so readily.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)The phone is due for an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but when it will land is anyone's guess.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2012)Aiming to deliver 90% of the benefits of its extremely popular sibling for a fraction of the price, the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 plays to the company's strengths and might turn out to be one of the unsung heroes of the year.Dual-core might not be top-dog material in the Android realm any more, but it's enough to run virtually all apps and give you a nice smooth sailing around the interface.
