Back view of Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
PLS is Samsung's take on IPS, the screen technology used in the iPhone 4S and HTC One X. Viewing angles are excellent, with just some loss of brightness when tilted to extremes in particular directions.

screen size

3.8"
4.7"
Touch focusing is responsive, but the shutter button is a little small, and with a large thumb the phone will often think you're trying to focus on the edge of the screen rather than attempting to snag a snap.
Galaxy Ace 2 by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)
Its key selling point is the big screen, which is rather hard to come by in this price range.

screen resolution

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
LG Optimus L9
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).
Galaxy Ace 2 by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)
The resolved detail is poor, the noise levels are very high and contrast is pretty bad.

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).
Galaxy Ace 2 by Camilo (Apr, 2013)
This phone is excellent, it has everything you need, its so fast that I wonder why you need more cores when this dual core phone can handle everything (i was chating on whatsapp listening to music donwloading from the play store and it is always snappy).

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.
Galaxy Ace 2 by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)
The Optimus L9 has a 5-megapixel camera that can record high-definition video, a front-facing camera, and a music player.

Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 vs LG Optimus L9

cpu speed

The internals held a pleasant surprise too - the dual-core processor runs at 800MHz and is well endowed with 768MB of RAM (quite a few dual-cores come with just 512MB).
Galaxy Ace 2 by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)
What we have here clearly isn't the best dual-core chipset on the market, but there's more than enough to keep Ice Cream Sandwich at cruising speed.

Great product, it works in band HSDPA 1900, and is a great phone for the price, I really recommend this phone for an Android newcomer.

The LG Optimus L9 has an excellent-quality 4.5-inch, high-resolution, touch-screen display packed in a relatively thin and lightweight case.

And I really count on a phone's sound for music as I use the music player more than any other application.
Rated 80% by by V.-Verdes--Vio (Jan, 2013)
This is made by LG, and every LG handset I have owned has been top-notch in terms of build quality and ascetics.
