Rated 100% by by galaxy (Sep, 2012)It is a good phone at a good price and that's not being enough double chip (DUOS) and even better is besides all android and a small, thin compared to others.
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.

Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Y compared to the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus
GHz0.83
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 3.5G
Rated 100% by by Natalie-H-G (Jan, 2013)The speed, display quality and size of the phone make me wonder who would pay more for the "bigger version" - the SIII.
1 GHz
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 3.5G
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.
screen size
3"
3.7"
Galaxy Ace Plus by D.-Powell (Dec, 2012)The size is just right, the display and audio are great for videos/movies/music, and not having a hard keyboard on my smartphone isn't as bad as I thought, having being used to Blackberrys for the past 5 years.
screen resolution
Galaxy Y by GSM Arena (Sep, 2011)There's a very low amount of detail, exposure is very bad and often you'll get too dark or way too bright pictures with undistinguishable objects in them and colors are way too dull.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.5 GB | 0.5 GB |
processor
Galaxy Y by GSM Arena (Sep, 2011)The Galaxy Y is powered by a 830MHz ARMv6 processor and has a total of 290MB of RAM available.
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.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP | 5 MP |
Galaxy Y by Armando-Inquig--Mr.-Mandy (Jun, 2012)A lot of newer generations of phones goes towards bigger screens, higher camera resolutions, and so much apps and functions on phones that I barely, if ever, use (iPhones and even those from the very same Samsung brand are biggest offenders of this).
Galaxy Ace Plus by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)As we already pointed out, the 3 megapixel camera on Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus does a splendid job, but that's understandable - you have much more room and processing power here.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Y vs Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus
cpu speed
Galaxy Y by Jean-Lazaridis-Jr. (Sep, 2012)It comes with Android 2.3 gingerbread and the processor speed is nice.
Galaxy Ace Plus by Paul-C (Oct, 2012)The 1Ghz processor speed is very fast also compared to the Nokia C6 I had before.
talk time
360 min
440 min
Galaxy Y by Michael-C.-Panknin (Jan, 2013)I had to immediately boost that to $30.00 a month so I could receive "data"....which was mostly my apps updating themselves....too few megabytes of data offered along with way too many minutes of talk time ( I'm not that social).
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).
