When seen physically, at first glance is similar to the Ace Galaxy Galaxy S. However, the Galaxy's touch screen is larger and better quality with Super AMOLED technology. This makes the price of the Galaxy Ace rumors relatively cheaper compared to the Galaxy S.

This phone is officially entered almost simultaneously with three other siblings, Mini Galaxy, Galaxy and Galaxy Fit Gio. And, Samsung Galaxy Ace including one with the highest specifications. Just a note, Galaxy Ace is a phone that was rumored as the Galaxy's Mini.

For some reason when viewed from the standpoint of design, the Samsung Ace looks like the iPhone Galaxy 4. Just look at her a candybar form wrapped in a glossy touch. But for the size of the Galaxy Ace is slightly smaller than the iPhone and the rear casing is made different from the rough but rough textured finish.

Coating the front of this phone include a solid glass with similar components on the screen. Problem buttons, including the minimalist because it only found three. Among other touch sensitive buttons (menu and back) which only appears when you turn on the screen. And, the physical button to access the home in the middle. Overall shape was simple but elegant.

First Thing | Main Features

Screen: Resolution HVGA, clear display

Galaxy Samsung Ace has a TFT LCD screen measuring 3.5 inches. Fairly large. Compare with LG Optimus One or HTC Wildfire. Problem resolution also includes a large at 320 x 480 pixels (HVGA).

For touch screen phone offers capacitive sensors. Problem sensitivity, you can read the discussion at the First session of Touch in the courtyard below.

Camera: topnotch

We most admire the ability of this camera. As is known, the camera features most Android phones are less satisfactory. While the Galaxy Ace resolution of 5 megapixels, autofocus and flash capable of changing the 'image' is. To record the video you can enjoy the recording 320 × 240 pixels (QVGA).

Standard camera menu. Starting from the shooting mode, scene modes, white balance, ISO setting, focus mode, the effect of up to photo quality. But upon entering the testing session, the Galaxy appear prima Ace. Results outdoors photos and sharp detail. In the indoor sessions, lightning lamps feature can generate images that are not less sharp, though slightly yellowish shades decorated.

OS & Processors: Minim pauses and acceleration satisfying

Galaxy Axe combines the Android operating system 2.2.1 (Froyo) with 800 MHz processor. Deadly duo is quite powerful in maintaining the smooth navigation on mobile phones. Operation menu that we are doing well and almost without pause. Every effect and the transition look smooth.

To multitaksing, Galaxy Ace appear prima. Some applications can be opened at once without any significant problems. If too many applications that charges the phone's performance though, the Samsung Ace Galaxy had prepared the Task Manager application. With this option, easy to turn off unnecessary applications.

Interface: standard with Samsung's unique TouchWiz 3.0

TouchWiz is a Samsung developed the view menu in Android to distinguish the menu screen phone made by other vendors who also wears a similar OS. Galaxy Ace immersed in TouchWiz 3.0.

You will meet with the homescreen seven panels that can be fitted with various widgets and shortcuts. Homescreen can be added or subtracted as necessary. On the main menu, there is a menu page with the grid concept extends to the side. When the application increases, this menu page will increase by itself. Typical TouchWiz.

Galaxy Ace also bring multitouch features or pinch to zoom in several applications including the accelerometer to change screen orientation when the phone's position changes.

To type a message, Galaxy Ace already crowded Swype-enabled QWERTY keyboard. With this Swype feature, you can type messages more easily. Way, simply by drawing a line from one letter to another letter so that it becomes a word.

We also found a proximity sensor that can turn off the screen when there is near your ear when talking on the phone. Help save power. We also found hotswap microSD slot is located on the left side of the phone.

In the audio section, there is a special loudspeaker and a 3.5 mm audio port embedded in the top of the Galaxy Ace. We tried the typical music player its Android already equipped with an equalizer. The sound from the loudspeaker is less fun, profit from the headset feels more have lost interest. There's also an FM radio and video player as other entertainment.

For additional features of the inserted Samsung available Voice Search, ThinkFree, to run Microsoft Word / Excel / Powerpoint. Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. And, Android standard features such as Google Maps (plus GPS), Navigation, Latitude and Places, GoogleTalk, Android Market, Gmail and YouTube.Oh yes, the phone's internal memory is 158 MB.
