Its resolution of 480x800 pixels means that pixel density is average but still good for a 3.7inch screen and as a result text looks sharp.

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.

The 7.0 Plus has a rather bright display with colors and contrast looking good indoors.

At 3.7-inches the screen is big but easy to manage and the textured rear makes it look solid - bordering on rough.

it handles comfortably and we like the fact that it hasn't grown much in size despite having a bigger screen than the original.

This is partly why Samsung has created the Galaxy W. It has a more standard-sized 3.7inch screen and a relatively modest single core processor, but it's also much more affordable as you can pick it up for around £228 SIM free and for free on a £22 a month contract from Three, who supplied our test handset.
Galaxy W by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2011)
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.

The front facing camera is designed for video calling in apps like GoogleTalk and only has a VGA resolution, while if you flip the phone over and you'll see the 5.0megapixel camera staring out at you.
Galaxy W by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2011)
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.

Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy W vs Ace Plus

cpu speed

Still, the chipset did very well in both CPU and GPU benchmarks, so one of those fancy chipsets with dual-core processors wasn’t badly missed.
Galaxy W by GSM Arena (Aug, 2011)
Never mind the higher clock speed, Qualcomm processors aren't famous for wide video codec support.

Operating System

Samsung's Android phones have never looked particularly beautifully – even the styling of the S2 is a little bit ho-hum in our opinion and sadly the Galaxy W doesn't do anything to change this.

With the latest of Android and TouchWiz, the Samsung Galaxy W I8150 takes a support-and-assist role to the company’s flagship – the S II.

The Samsung Galaxy W isn’t perhaps the prettiest Android phone out there, but it turns out to be a pretty nifty handset to use.
