Youtube Er For Samsung Galaxy Ace
Samsung Galaxy Ace – Design The Ace’s design certainly doesn’t betray its budget leanings. It’s nothing particularly new or innovative but the glossy front, silver sides and textured back are smart enough. In terms of build quality, there’s a certain plasticky feel to it but when some high-end smartphones like Samsung’s own also have a rather lightweight plastic build, the difference isn’t glaringly obvious. Extra grip is provided by the textured back and it keeps fingerprints and scratches well covered up. Some may find the knobbly texture a bit peculiar at first but it’s not actually uncomfortable once you’re used to it. Indeed, combined with its slightly smaller form factor, the Ace makes for a rather easy-to-handle phone. Connectivity wise, the Ace gives up little to top-end devices with microUSB and headphone sockets on the top edge, and for storage there’s a microSD slot on the side.

Both are covered, with the microUSB hidden behind a ridged plastic slider and the card slot by a softer plastic bung. You’ll get a 2GB card in the box, which is enough for plenty of apps and a few dozen albums. If you want to start loading you phone up with dozens of videos or hundreds albums, though, you’ll need to invest in a larger card as the 153MB of in-built storage won’t get you very far.
Like the I, the Galaxy Ace has just a single physical button on its front, which will take you back to the homescreen. Flanking it are touch buttons for Back and Menu, which disappear into the blackness of the bezel when the phone is powered down. This design apes Apple a little too obviously, but we do actually think it’s the best button layout for Android phones, especially as the Home button also activates the screen. Samsung Galaxy Ace – Screen Speaking of the screen, it’s probably the first place this phone really starts to show its budget origins. The 3.5in size isn’t quite on the level of the 4in models sported by many of the most powerful smartphones but it’s perfectly adequate, indeed it’s the same size as the iPhone 4. However, it certainly isn’t the same when it comes to sharpness.
With a resolution of just 320 x 480 pixels, it has a pixel density of just 164 pixels per inch compared to the iPhone’s 320ppi and the Galaxy S II’s 220ppi. The upshot is the Ace does look rather blocky.
You can still read most text messages and emails easily enough but browsing the web can be a bit more tricky as you have to zoom in and out that much more. Colours produced by the display are okay so pictures and videos don’t suffer too much in this regard but the extremes of dark and light detail are lost somewhat and viewing angles are fairly ropey. All told, it’s a display that gets the job done for core smartphone duties but it doesn’t bring an extra level of joy to browsing through your pics, playing games or watching video. Not that you’ll want to be show off your videos shot with this phone’s camera all that often. Its QVGA (320 x 240) resolution is woefully low, as is the meagre 15fps framerate. As an emergency nice to have is all this qualifies as.
For pictures, the 5-megapixel snapper does the job, with LED flash and autofocus for sharp close-up shots. Results are very dependent on the amount of light available but you generally get. Samsung has also split the main menu, which is normally presented as one long vertical list, into pages that you scroll through horizontally. This is more annoying as the company has also made it so that the icons can be rearranged as you please. This is good for the fact it gives you even more customisability but the whole point of the homescreens is to arrange and organise the phone’s apps into clusters and folders according to your preference.
Having to do this for the main menu as well just means you have more stuff to keep on top of. Otherwise, the interface is easy enough to get to grips with. Android is still that little bit more complicated than iOS but you soon get the hang of it. Samsung Galaxy Ace – Performance Despite having ‘only’ an 800MHz CPU, the phone is surprisingly nippy.
Most high-end smartphones have single- or dual-core 1GHz (1,000MHz) processors, and this phone does feel quite a bit slower than these handsets in general use, but crucially it’s not encumbered with a 600MHz CPU as many budget handsets are. Gaming is a bit limited by the slower processor but most of the best fun physics games are playable. It’s only really the fancy-looking 3D shooters and driving games that suffer. Video, though, isn’t this devices forte. Playback quality is fine but format support is very limited and higher quality videos will generally fail to playback.
It doesn’t help that the headphone socket has a bit of background noise, either. It’s okay for casual listening but discerning listeners will not be pleased. Samsung Galaxy Ace – Calling, Contacts and Messaging When it comes to the core smartphone tasks, the Ace holds up well, though. The onscreen keyboard is well laid-out and thanks to the responsive touchscreen, it keeps up with speedy typing (assuming you turn the predictive text on). In fact, it’s one of the best typing experiences we’ve encountered on a budget smartphone. As we’ve come to expect from Android handsets, all it takes to populate your phone’s contacts – if you have a Gmail, Exchange, Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace account – is for you to login to one of these services.
The phone will then pull-in all your friends’ contact info. It does a good job of linking contacts from these different services, so you don’t have to spend an age telling the system that Andy on Facebook really is the same Andy as on Myspace. Samsung Galaxy Ace – Multimedia Browsing the web is a decent enough experience with fairly rapid rendering of webpages and smooth motion as you roam round and zoom in and out of a page.
Sadly Flash isn’t available so you won’t be able to watch online videos but performance would’ve been so ropey as to not make this a big deal. Beyond this, the Ace is well equipped with apps for keeping yourself organised, finding out where you’re going, and entertaining yourself. And if you want more there’s the Android Marketplace to dive into.
Calling threw up no causes for concern with acceptable call quality from both speaker and earpiece. It’s not the best, but perfectly adequate.
Battery life also seemed to be at least on-par with a couple of days average use being what you’ll get from a full charge. Samsung Galaxy Ace – Camera Samples The same image as above but with the flash used for fill light.
Samsung Galaxy Ace Verdict The Samsung Galaxy Ace isn’t as spectacular as its name suggests but it is a competent budget smartphone. As ever, the Orange San Francisco makes.
If was hiding a secret card up its sleeve, one with ambition to trump mid-range smartphones with a smart combination of price and features, the would be our first guess. Rather than shooting for the stars it offers the almost complete Android experience in a relatively affordable package at a retail price of around $350. Hard facts speak of an 800MHz Qualcomm chipset and 278MB of RAM under the hood here. Samsung throwed in a 5-megapixel shooter and a conveniently located microSD card slot on the side, all in a handset with a 3.5-inch, looking somewhat similar to the 4. Will this be enough for its market success? Read on to find out. Design: Design is what differentiates a company in the already packed Android smartphone space, but the Galaxy Ace delivers a body with a subtle yet noticeable similarity to 's iPhone 4.
The phone comes with an equally sized 3.5-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. Response to tapping and flicking is excellent, but in direct sunlight the screen is barely legible. Samsung skipped on the oleophobic coating, but hey – looking at the price we see no surprise here, right? To continue the list of similarities, the bezel around the screen almost matches the one on the iPhone 4 in terms of size, but the single large physical key on the bottom is what really jogs you into linking the Ace with Apple's iPhone. Finally, one capacitive button on each of the sides of the physical home key rounds up the fascia of the handset.
The Galaxy Ace comes in two versions – a black and a white one. Meme de peux (unregistered) @raman Yeah, phonearena's reviews SUCK. They can't even keep track of their past reviews, and much less give objective reviews of current phones. I had a Galaxy 5, which is just a hair different from the galaxy 3, and I tell ya that the Galaxy ACE deserves atleast an 8.0 rating (I would give it a 9). I bought a Galaxy Ace 3 weeks ago, and the phone is SUPER compared to my previous galaxys.
The 3.5' screen is tough (I found out yesterday from sum guy in a forum that its gorilla glass) against scratches, and the UI is very very pleasant to use, especially the Texting/emailing interface. But it is the camera and LED flash which really sets the Ace ABOVE even the Galaxy S (which regrettably, doesn't have any LED flash despite being 2x the cost of the galaxy Ace). All my pictures taken with the camera and flash are very good, with excellent detail and contrast. And the fast 800 mhz processor enables fast uploading of my pics to the web (600 mhz phones stutter when I try to do this often). The wonderful ThinkFree editing app is pre-installed, which is a blessing, since I wanted a doc editor since I can't remember when, but all my past phones always DON'T HAVE ONE, ironically. Now, I can edit my job resumes in the privacy of my flat, and upload them to jobsites with no problem, using my phone. Same goes for emails.
Personally, I think Samsung gave much, more thought into the making of the Galaxy Ace, than any of the other phones - from the sophisticated design, to the thoughtful placement of the SD card at the right side and the putting of a slide door over the microUSB port, to the nice placement of the LED flash under the camera (so when you put it on portrait mode, the flash will be at the side of the camera), the use of sturdier gorilla glass on the 3.5' screen, and the inclusion of a white color option aside from the regular black one - makes it a truly WONDERFUL, SUPERB mid-range phone. The galaxy Ace merits atleast an 8.0, or higher. SenthikumarP (unregistered) Hi, I have been using this phone for 2 weeks now, installed a lots of free apps from the android market. The battery life is extended if you switch off Wi-fi, GPRS (APN), bluetooth etc (which is easy if you pull down the task bar).
It had to recharge after 52 hours only when my battey showed 20% remaining and i started using the Wi-fi. I have the battery indicator app installed. The phone appears to slow down when u install lots of app which reside in the Phone memory.
I had to cleanup a few of them and the rest moved it to SD using 'App2SD' app whichever was moveable. There still are other apps which reside in phone memory (like Facebook, linkedin etc) 3. Exchange mails (Outlook web access), Yahoo, google mails all can be configured easily.
I was also able to configure Office communicator ('Office Talk Free') app and it worked with ease. Veekay (unregistered) Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Ace today, and so far I have a great feeling about it. Ace has a rock-solid build quality, with the rough textured back panel giving a slip-resistant grip and all the useful buttons laid around the sides thoughtfully (all metal buttons, with covers for the USB port, memory card and camera). There is only one physical key on the front face (which is the HOME key), with 2 soft/virtual keys ACTIVATE/MENU and GOBACK/CANCEL keys (that activate once the phone is unlocked). I would have preferred dedicated physical keys for these actions, as they are useful if the phone or a call ever freezes.
The 16M colors display with gorilla glass is just awesome, and though it is not Super AMOLED, it is still a visual treat. Live Wallpapers are fun and they work. Scrolling, tapping, typing, or pinch zooming with the capacitive touch sensitive screen and viewing videos/photos is a sheer pleasure.
Without even charging the phone for first time, I have been using all its features heavily since past few hours, and it still shows half battery meter. I am sure that if I use it moderate-heavily (without the usual battery-draining data services like GPS & Mobile Office/GPRS always enabled), it will easily last me around 1.5 days average. 1350mAh battery is good, though I would have preferred 1500mAh. Remember, most of all the smartphones these days will drain battery easily due to bigger screensizes, frequently-web-syncing apps, HD music/video playback and 3D games. Nokia phones have better battery, but with lesser features at heavier costs. Ace is loaded with good apps (though Facebook app needs to be manually searched and installed later).
The full-version ThinkFree office suite is just perfect for business users. The phone never feels sluggish, and all the apps load up fast, even the Google Maps and Youtube app. The GPS and gravity/gyro sensor are accurate, with almost all the default apps having motion-sense responsiveness, so switching from portrait to landscape or vice versa is almost instantaneous. I must commend the WiFi and GPS reception.
The Ace perfectly found and configured my WPA2-AES protected home WiFi network, and Android 2.2 has support for advanced features like static IP, multiple DNS servers, etc. Ace has much better antennas than all my other portable devices, and I found web surfing to be a breeze. It is almost like browsing on your desktop PC, albeit with a smaller screen. I didn't find many apps in the Samsung market (I live in India), but I don't care, since the internet with flooded with gray-market apps. First, I need to install an antivirus solution.:-) The Ace has so far shown me a very stable and pleasurable UI and Android finally seems to have matured with its 2.2 Froyo version (my past experience with Android 1.6 and 2.1 devices hasn't been good, especially with Wifi connectivity and app stability).
Galaxy Ace seems to be Samsung's ace in the Android hole. HTC and other vendors better wake up. New Owner (unregistered) I have this phone for over a week now and am charging it for the 4th time. This is my first real smart phone.
Battery life is excellent - can last 2 full days of playing around whenever I find the time with the GPS, WiFi, Youtube and games from market plus a few calls in between. Reception and call quality is very good, I've owned a number of phones from the major players since the early 2000 and I know. I am also new to Android but I think I can get used o the UI. This phone deserved a higher rating. Ashraf (unregistered) i am using this phone from last 15 days.I bought it around rs.13.5K from Delhi. Rei (unregistered) I've been using my Galaxy Ace for about a month now. I was originally planning to buy the Galaxy S but changed my mind since i'm not really going to need all that extra muscle (or the bragging rights) to run my apps.
So far i'm really happy about the Ace. It feels responsive and zippy most of the time. Sometimes there's some lag when playing games on it because I used SetCPU to slightly underclock the phone to save on battery. With moderate use it can last me a good 2 days (again, with the phone slightly underclocked) before the battery is completely drained.
The issue of the browser not having flash capabilities isn't a big deal for me. What bothers me though is the measly video recording resolution which is a downer (but i can live with it) and watching any video above VGA resolution can take its toll on the Ace's CPU. Other things i liked about the phone is the call quality. It's clear and the Ace never dropped my call even in remote areas where signals are weak.

The wifi is also something i really like on this phone, its really fast! The still camera shots are also excellent for a phone, much better than some current nokia smartphones (higher megapixels doesn't mean better pictures after all).
