by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)Never mind the higher clock speed, Qualcomm processors aren't famous for wide video codec support.
Rated 70% by 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.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus compared to the Ace
GHz1
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 3.5G
by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)The 7.0 Plus cannot match the WXGA resolution of its bigger siblings or the Super AMOLED screen of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 but the main competition isn’t doing a lot better either.
0.8 GHz
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 3.5G
by GSM Arena (Feb, 2011)The Samsung Galaxy Ace has good features for its price: a decent 3.5” HVGA screen, 800MHz processor, pleasing 5 megapixel camera, good build and, of course, Android 2.2 Froyo.
screen size
3.7"
3.5"
Galaxy Ace Plus by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)it handles comfortably and we like the fact that it hasn't grown much in size despite having a bigger screen than the original.
Galaxy Ace by GSM Arena (Feb, 2011)The screen is big enough at 3.5” without making the phone unmanageable.
screen resolution
Galaxy Ace Plus by LIDA-MARTELL-ONEGLIOand if I will recomended to my family first but I would say beware of carmera details from there all right.
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.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.5 GB | 0.5 GB |
processor
Galaxy Ace Plus by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)For one, the 7.0 Plus won’t feel out of depth around dual core competitors but Samsung's own Exynos SoC gives its media credentials a serious boost.
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 Plus by c|net (Jan, 2012)The 5-megapixel camera on the Ace Plus isn't as sharp as phones with 8-megapixel sensors, but you do get an LED flash.
Galaxy Ace by GSM Arena (Feb, 2011)The Samsung Galaxy Ace has a 5 autofocus megapixel camera for a maximum image resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus vs Ace
cpu speed
Galaxy Ace Plus by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)Overall, the Galaxy Ace Plus is a solid performer nonetheless compared to other single core devices.
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.
talk time
440 min
670 min
Galaxy Ace Plus 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).
Galaxy Ace by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)The battery is rated for 7 and a half hours of talk time with 3G enabled.

video
Samsung Galaxy Ace | by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)There's Flash 11 support, which means you can watch YouTube videos right in the browser (720p videos stuttered, though this might be a software issue as the Ace Plus had no problems with them) and play Flash games too.
Samsung Galaxy Ace | by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)The poor video codec support on the Galaxy Ace Plus was a disappointment, which the Ace 2 has sorted out.
