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.
by c|net (Feb, 2012)The handset will come with a hefty $645 price tag before subsidy, and features a 4.3-inch ClearBlack AMOLED touch-screen display.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Ace compared to the Nokia Lumia 610
GHz0.8
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 3.5G
Rated 100% by by Mike-Ecu (Jan, 2013)She loves it, because it is fast, nice and it is not heavy at all.
0.8 GHz
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango 3.5G
Rated 61% by by The Verge (Jun, 2012)Results from the VGA resolution were reasonable and the camera handles autofocus well alongside varying light conditions.
screen size
3.5"
3.7"
Galaxy Ace by jlozano (Sep, 2012)The size is great, it's not too big, not too small and the screen is perfect enough.
Lumia 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)While there’s a general trend in the smartphone industry to push way above the 4-inch screen size, Nokia’s 3.7-inch choice here makes sense for a variety of reasons.
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.
Lumia 610 by GSM Arena (Jun, 2012)Resolved detail just isn't up to 5MP standards, colors look washed out and the camera obviously struggles in low-lit scenes.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.27 GB | 0.3 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).
Lumia 610 by GSM Arena (Jun, 2012)The 1GHz CPU and 512MB RAM threshold has been lowered and the Lumia 610 does reasonably well with an 800MHz processor and 256MB of RAM.
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.
Lumia 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)Microsoft allows device manufacturers to extend its camera software with addons, and it’s one of the hardware aspects that others are using to differentiate (like the Titan II’s 16-megapixel shooter).
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Ace vs Nokia Lumia 610
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.
Lumia 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)I was genuinely surprised to see that Windows Phone continued to launch apps and switch between the various hubs just as fast as other devices equipped with double the RAM and processor speed.
talk time
670 min
570 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.
Lumia 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)Nokia claims you'll get 9.5 hours of 3G talk time out of the Lumia 610 as well as a whopping 720 hours of 3G standby time.
