Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 Review

(GT-I8160) Score: 57.5 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 is a quite good cellphone released back in 2012, which counts with a 3.8 inches touch-screen, a good performance 800 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit, a 5 MP back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. Let's take a better look at what this phone can do.

This phone is a bit heavy for a device of this size, with a weight of 4.3 oz. Though this cellphone is thin it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones currently available, with a thickness of 0.41 inches.

Samsung equipped this phone with a good performance Dual-Core processor clocking at 800 megahertz and 768 MB RAM memory. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 counts with a decent 4 GB internal storage memory, which is adequate for the average user considering that this phone also has a slot for an external memory card to store photographs and videos and even some games and apps that allow external memory installation.

Samsung packed this phone with a very good 3.8" display, and a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes all images and videos look colorful and brightful. Its display uses Super PLS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone features wifi capability (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This device is equipped with two cameras, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a F2.8 aperture so it has a lot of trouble taking good photos in low lighting situations. It is capable of capturing HD 1280x720 videos at 30 fps. In addition, the camera counts with a couple of interesting characteristics like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

The Ace 2 counts with a mid sized 1500 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this phone a below average battery life comparing with other similar cellphones. Samsung reports a 670 hs stand by time and a 16.3 hours talk time for this phone.

The Ace 2 also features some interesting characteristics as NFC, Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Samsung sells this cellphone for 150 dollars, which is not a really offer for comparing with similar phones. No matter whether you want this phone for playing games or are looking for a social cellphone, you will definitely love this phone.
