Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Samsung Ace
is a smart-looking Android phone with a larger-than-average
3.5 inch display, a decent 800 MHz processor, and a good camera.
Other highlights include GPS with Google Maps, high-speed internet
and Wi-Fi. But its battery life and reliability are questionable,
and it can't compete against the best Android phones.
Best buy: *Free* from The
Carphone Warehouse (Black, White or Fleur); or £79.95
on Pay as you Go from the Carphone
Warehouse (Black, White or Fleur).

The Galaxy Ace is a little like the Galaxy S's little brother. It certainly
has a premium look and feel, with its metallic looks giving it an iPhone-like
appearance. The display is a decent size at 3.5 inches and with a resolution
of 320 x 480 pixels it has exactly the same size and resolution display
as the iPhone 3G S. But that demonstrates
how far smartphone displays have improved over the past two years, as
rivals like the Galaxy S and HTC Desire now offer substantially larger
and higher resolution screens.
The camera is a decent 5 megapixel job with autofocus and an LED flash,
but once again it's trumped by rivals offering HD video recording. The
800 MHz processor is comparable with mid-range Android phones rather
than high-end phones with 1GHz processors, and sometimes just isn't
quick enough. We're also disappointed by the minimal 150MB of onboard
memory.
Certainly there are many, many good features about the phone. The aGPS
with Google Maps is a favourite, not to mention the 100,000 apps available
from Android Market. For email and messaging the Galaxy Ace is brilliant.
The Social Hub integrates contacts with facebook and twitter apps really
well, and we like the Android virtual QWERTY keyboard. There's also
SWYPE, which lets you drag your finger over the keyboard and then works
out which keys you "pressed". Samsung's TouchWiz 3.0 interface
works well too.
Battery life ought to be good, with a reasonably heavy-duty 1350 mAh
cell installed. But in practice, the Ace doesn't seem to deliver on
its potential, with many users struggling to get through the day.
The web browser is good and fast, although there's no support for Flash
video. Connectivity is excellent though, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB
and HSDPA offering downloads at up to 7.2 Mbps.
Despite its high-end feel look and feel, the Ace isn't really a high-end
phone. At launch it was priced over-optimistically at £25 per
month on contract. Now that the price has fallen to £15 per month
it seems like a much better buy, but read the user reviews below carefully,
as some users seem to be having trouble with this phone.
Features of the Samsung Galaxy Ace include:
- 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and 2x digital zoom

Agree with Katherine it is definately not a smart phone - I have been
back to O2 and spoken to the in store guru at least 3 times and it has
been back to O2 as it is less than 6 months old.My photos disappear
the memory gets full even though I have not downloaded anything and
am only using what it came with. Gutted I am in a 24 month contract
but really not fit for purpose, rejects calls or you can't answer them.

I have been using my galaxy ace for about 6 months now this is my first
touchscreen/ smartphone and im not very impressed. i have only downloaded
whatsapp and 3 games everything else that i have was already on there,
and the memory is nearly full. I always make sure i put everything that
will go on the sd card on to it, i delete photos and messages regularly
i am running the latest software but it is so slow its painful my old
nokia was much quicker !! nearly everytime i go to contacts or messages
i get a black screen for 4-5 seconds and everytime i see an app advertised
and try to download it im told its not compatible with my device !!
in my opinion its not a very smart phone.

I`ve took delivery of the Galaxy ace last month as an upgrade, I tend
to think its a down grade, I have missed numerous calls, the phone doesn't
ring they either go straight to answer phone or it appears to the caller
I`m unavailable its absolute rubbish, its connectivity is beyond poor,
calls drop out as well for no reason, and so does the internet, I took
it in to Carphone Warehouse on the advice of Talk Mobile, who say this
is a problem with the ace, there is an upgrade provided but Carphone
warehouse will tell you that its only about 50% successful, so as a
phone its rubbish I could think of better words to be honest. Oh by
the way the bloke at carphone warehouse said it was the seventh one
in this week with this problem.
I am now in argument with the phone provider that the handset is not
fit for purpose.
You have been warned.
Sorry on the star rating it doesn't go lower than one

This phone is a decent mid level smartphone- true it has its faults
but I piad 120 pounds and it has excedded my expectations.
The internet browsing is good, the gps is good, the apps work fine,
calls and texts are easy + it looks very professional and has a great
feel in your hand.
Downsides: Poor battery and poor internal memory- both which are not
too bad considereing the price I paid
Summary: Great if you want a smartphone and don't want to pay over the
odds.

then quite a lot of the phone works most of the time but not all. Other
problems include no sound sometimes very slow internet sometimes, screen
disappearing so very hard to end call. Had the phone for about 6 months
and when it works properly i quite like it, but its so unreliable and
has a dreadful battery life i cant wait to ditch it!!

I am not one for spending megabucks on the newest and most expensive
phones, but decided as the Ace had been out a while and was down to
£115 in Argos that I would treat myself to it. I've got to say on the
whole I am very happy with it, once again however I am disapointed at
the ridiculous internal memory that a lot of the older mid to low range
phones seem to have. I just don't get why this problem has been allowed
to continue from one model to another. Anyway that aside I never intended
to use this as an extension of myself, as what I was really looking
for was having something handy on me, that I could take photos of the
kids when out and about without having to always worry about charging
the camera, but with the added bonus of being able to check Facebook,
email, ability to check websites on the move, obviously having a phone
and ability to text...OK I'm stating most of the obvious here, but what
I'm getting at is, I have a tab at home that I use for most things and
really just wanted the ace to be a handy little companion ......and
it just is. It does all I want it to. Only complaints have to be battery
life and internal memory (which is not specific to this phone) its not
the fastest, sometimes I have to wait a good 10 secs for an app to open
or gallery to view photos. Apart from that, I am very pleased with this
phone, and love the way it looks and feels in my hands. Its big enough
without feeling like I'm carrying a a small laptop in my pocket, but
small enough and light enough not to bother me when I'm out and about.
I know this phone was initially in region of £200 plus, and if I'd paid
anything like that for it, I would be left with a bitter taste in my
mouth right now, however for just over £100, I'm more than happy.

Uninstall all your updates for Google Maps - it works fine without them.
Delete all the Cache from the applications. Also try downloading Autokiller
Memory optimiser from Google Play. It works at making the battery life
longer and speeds up the phone several times over
Reply by Ray from UK on 5th Oct 2012
Hi, have you cleared the "cache" for all your apps? & for your e-mail
accounts? Apps like Facebook/Twitter/Whatsapp & certain games store
huge amounts of cache on your phone! + e-mails & attachments/photo's
need clearing from cache. Go into settings, then applications, then
"manage applications", then "All", select each app one-by-one & clear
data/cache etc... Hope this helps. Have you turned the phone off & on
again recently? this clears unwanted stuff too! Even apps added to your
SD card still add a small bit of data to your phone to make them load
quicker. After you have cleared all the cache, dial *#*#9900#*#* on
your keypad, select "dump to SD card" from the list & this will dump
all unwanted data onto your SD card. On your SD card look for a new
folder called 'dump state' or something like that & delete it. Good
luck.

on to voicemail.
Phone is brilliant but needs charged every day.
Difficult to press keyboard letters when texting messages if u have

This phone is merely okay. It is my first Android phone and my feelings
are a mixture of good and bad. The phone generally works well BUT it
can be quite slow sometimes. Even a delay of a few seconds soon gets
frustrating. My main annoyance with this phone is the small internal
memory. When I chose this phone I did not think this would be a problem
as I would install everything to an SD card.
If I had done my research I would have realised that there was a flaw
in my plan. On android, not all apps can be installed to sd card, and
even when you do install to sd card the apps still use some internal
memory when they are used. Since getting this phone I have been wanting
to install loads of apps from google play but the phone very quickly
gets full up. I now have to be very selective about the apps I install
and have to leave so many off the phone I am very fed up with it.
I even installed the android software development kit (in windows, not
phone) and altered the default install location to sd card but it doesn't
help much. I then tried rooting it and flashing the cyanogenmod 7 rom
which freed a bit of space by not being loaded with unwanted junk from
the outset but you are only saving a relatively small amount. I am now
back on the default rom image from my backup and I am counting the months
to my upgrade (17 months to go).
I will get a phone with a much larger internal memory next time.
In summary, not a bad phone. It does all the buit-in stuff well enough
(web browsing is better on my ipod touch though). If you keep things
simple then this phone will be fine. If you want to install loads of
apps from the store DO NOT GET THIS PHONE.

A total pile of useless rubbish.
I bought this phone a week before Christmas 2011. I'm not always after
the latest phone, but I thought I'd treat myself. I narrowed down my
choice to a Blackberry (I really wanted this) or the Galaxy Ace. Unfortunately
I was talked into the Galaxy by a friend and little did I know, I was
about to throw £150 straight down the toilet.
The screen has a mind of it's own while scrolling, and the most infuriating
problem is when it keeps cutting calls off. It can happen from 1 second
to 5 minutes into a call. Oh yeah, when it rings you have to swipe the
green button on the screen and sometimes when you swipe, the phone goes
to answer but then keeps ringing. Now you have a ringing phone, while
the caller on the other end is talking to themselves and you have no
buttons to answer it.
I'm very very disappointed in this phone. I should've kept my little
LG Pop... seriously.
I urge people not to part with their money for this plastic contraption.
At the end of the day you can't call it a phone because you can't have
a conversation with anyone on it.

This phone may look fantastic but it is very poor quality. My screen

always but for a new phone it shouldn't be doing this) and the worst
problem of all is the fact that it cuts off calls that are made and
received. I have been waiting to get this phone for ages and bought
accessories for it too. Total waste of time. I just hope o2 will offer
me the S2 for the rigmorole of going through 5 brand new phones with
the same problems. There is also evidence of bad pixels underneath the
screen and occassionally the screen freezes. My last Samsung was a good
phone but broke in the end do to software malfunctions and no response
to any button being pressed. Is it Samsung that should be avoided in

This Phone is absolutely useless. The touch screen is slow and often

any word choices, so keeps suggesting ridiculous words in place of reasonable

I bought this phone 2 weeks age ago and am pleasantly suprised in how
good the ace actually looks. Its just the right size for a smartphone
and must say its a bargin for the price i paid. The battery life for
this phone can be better but there are things you can do to reduce battery
consumption, such as turing off gps, wifi, background application, changing
to 2g mode, all can be found n settings.
I strongly recommend anyone to charge the phone for 8 hours for the
FIRST TIME OF CHARGING THE PHONE. even if the phone says fully charged
on first time charging, ignore and do so for 8 hrs. This is done so
that the phone recognises its battery capacity. The phone should be
charged as normal after that..
i give this phone 3.5 stars. For a budgetphone, it has most things you
need in a phone though it lacks wmv and flash support, which annoyed
me,that said can watch most videos online such as you tube, overall
good value for money.

a google account or gmail to use the functions ie to connect to android
market or Play Store to use the apps and to access alot of the functions
I definately wouldn't have bought it if I knew that. My privacy rights
go out the window while they store every web page I browse or every

its true the internet connection over 3g can be patchy at times but
this can be down to the network provider,in your case, T- mobile. I
had similar experience too. I would suggest,to minimise the nrs of windows
opened when browsing because the ram can't handle too many windows simultaneously.
I use a single window to avoid slow down.

When I first got the phone, I loaded some apps on a and was very happy
with it.
But after a couple of days it kept coming up with a notification which
said 'sd card damaged or removed', when this happened, all the apps
I had downloaded disappeared from the screen.
I wasn't too bothered because I thought it was an sd card error and
was planning to replace the card with a bigger one anyway.
When my new (recommended) csd ard arrived, I mounted it in the phone
as per the instructions, loaded the apps onto it, and it worked fine.
But.... after about a day, it started coming up with a notification
which said 'sd card removed unexpectedly' when this happened, my downloaded
apps disappeared off the screen, this was happening about 1 -2 daily,
I had to turn the phone off and on again for it to come back properly.
I went into store, and they supplied me with a new handset.
I mounted my new sd card into it and it worked fine for the first day,
but now comes up with a notification which says 'damaged sd card', and
once again, all my downloaded apps disappear.
What on earth is going on.
Don't want to keep going back to the store to get replacement, and was
told I'm now outside the 28 days to be able to cancel my contract.
Anyone else having the same problem?

Carol: The contract exits between you and the store and they have provided
equipment that is not fit for purpose and you are therefore entitled
to ask them to fix/replace it. Although you fixed into the contract
term of your line rental/call package the phone itself should be covered
by a 12 month warranty and if it's not operating as it should your are
entitled to repair/replacement. For your consumer rights products must
be: of satisfactory quality - last for the time you would expect it
to and be free of any defects fit for purpose – fit for the use
described and any specific use you made clear to the trader as described
– match the description on packaging or what the trader told you.
If the store tries to be difficult I recommend talking to your local
Trading Standards Office. Incidentally I've owned the Samsung Galaxy
Ace since April this year and have had no probs with it.

Im having the exact same issues with my handset. First few days were
good, then sd started failing. Seems as though it is not the sd card
itself but the port that isn't working properly. My friend bought the
same phone some time ago and has not had the same problems, I was thinking
of having my phone switched for a new one and now I see Im not the only

didn't solve the problem. I took the phone back and got a replacement
thinking this would fix my problem only to find by the time i got it
home and charged it was still doing the same thing! Has anyone got a
solution for this or is it a case of swapping for a different phone.

I had this phone as a replacement for a Alacatel that packed up after
5 months. This is not a bad phone but the software from Samsung is hopeless.
It cauased a mega crash on the p.c. and despite the phone been "new"
the phone was not compatable with the software it came with! According
to Samsung you can update the phone, but in reality you cant. Also if
you just take out the SD card it loses all your downloads unless you
"unmount" it correctly. All these Android phones are over hyped and
despite the £100 or so diference in price it's identical save for a
better camera/video camera and a screen with loads of pretty colours.

I wanted to buy a good phone with a lot of apps, but a phone that didn't
cost so much because my limit was £130, so It was either this or Samsung
Galaxy Fit, I'm glad I went for this phone instead because I heard that
the Fit has very low resolution. I got an upgrade on this phone, android
2.3 gingerbread..
I've had this phone for a week, so far so good, I gotta say the battery
like is really good! If I use a lot of internet I have to charge it
at least every 2 days. Memory is not so good, but when I bought this
phone it included a 2gb memory card so I'm fine with that. I would prefer
it if the camera zoomed in when capturing a picture, but I can still
use the pinch to zoom technique after i've took the picture. Camera's
great, lots of free apps..I read that there was no flash, but I mainly
go on YouTube so I wasn't that bothered about that, but I'm sure you
can get flash from the android market..I bought this phone for only
£100 by upgrading it, which is a pretty good price for a phone like
this..so overall I love this phone! Oh yeah and I loveee the Swype keyboard,
it makes texting so much faster and easier!
If you are new to android phones then you'll be impressed with this
phone, if you just moved from an iPhone4s then you wont be that suprised..If
you want a phone that has a great camera, great apps, and quite a good
price this is the phone for you..

I've had my Galaxy ace for approx 3 months. I think the phone is very
good. Strong, robust, easy to use. the Camera is good, GPS receiving
is very good. Expandable memory to 32GB should keep me going for a while.
Ok so the battery doesnt last for days, but what do you expect if your
surfing the internet for ages and running games! show me a small laptop
computer that can do as much and how long will that battery last??
If you turn off GPS and Bluetooth when not in use then battery lasts
a long time.
In response to the users saying GPS kills their battery... I run 'My
Tracks' and use the GPS. So far I've done a 5 hour bike ride and still
had 70% battery left afterwards! just make sure you stop the 3G connetion
(otherwise it continually downloads the maps -- a software concern,
not the phone)
Bottom line... if you want to surf the internet all day, get a computer..
if you want to play games all day, get a games console. If you want
a stylish phone, get a Galaxy.

People are complaining with valid problems. When you compare this phone
to the Nokia 710 which costs about the same then you get total reliability
on the Nokia 710, and battery that easily lasts 1.5 days and with the
Ace you don't get the same. I won't start with the dropped calls etc.
The bottom line is this phone is not fit to be a mobile phone and people
have very valid issues. An ex-Galaxy Ace user.

I first bought a Galaxy Fit but was so disappointed with the battery
life and screen resolution, I sold it on eBay as soon as possible while
it was still in pristine condition. I then bought an Ace after admiring
a colleague's and it is certainly a step up from the Fit. But it ain't
perfect, not by a long chalk. For one thing the battery life, although
better than the Fit, is still pretty dire.
I'm sure making sure many of its functions are off would help but what's
the point of that. But far worse was the fact that it simply switched
itself off and rebooted without warning of any kind. I took it to Phones4U
who replaced it even though it had been bought more than 28 days earlier
(I was not able to get to the shop any sooner) which is a plus point
to them, but also makes me feel that they - and Samsung - are aware
they have a problem. But the new phone was just as bad, so I decided
to lump it. In desperation I googled 'upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.4/5'
and by chance came across a site which was not a geek's paradise but
a very useful way of doing just that. I am most certainly no computer
whizz, but I did manage to update the software and that did solve the
'rebooting at will problem'.
But the upgrade was unofficial, Samsung upgrade says I had the latest
software version (which I didn't), which begs why Samsung, who surely
know the upagrade solves a problem, didn't make it officially avaialable.
I should imagine that has to do with licensing and paying Google more
money, so they took the view of 'sod the customer, they will just have
to buy a newer model when it comes out'. And that attitude, if true,
which just think it might be, leaves a rather sour taste in my mouth.
Apart from the poor battery life, however, I like the phone which does
what I want and sending and receiving emails is especially convenient.
I am writing this more or less a year afer the Ace was introduced so
my advice it to wait for the 'newer model', whatever it will be.

Awful phone, don't touch it with a barge pole; a real lemon. Mine has
been back twice to Samsung for 'repair', but it still re-boots whenever
it feels like it, cutting you off in mid-call or whatever else you were
doing. It's worse if you leave it on for a long time, so have to remember
to turn it off manually a couple of times a day. Yes, battery usage
is way over the top too. Also loses wi-fi connection on a regular basis,
with or without having done the spontaneous re-boot, so you have to
manually reconnect. There are clearly big software/hardware issues of
some kind. It's a real shame, because it's the right size, easy to use,
looks good, and if it all worked OK it would be worth a real thumbs
up. Instead totally put off having another Samsung phone at all. No
wonder the price is going down fast and it's being offered as part of
lots of deals, presumably to get rid of stock. Big mistake Samsung,

this by buying a spare battery (unlike some more expensive phones)
2) The small internal memory. Unfortunately some apps need to be in
internal memory rather than on the SD card. Even more unfortunately
the internal memory is full of kruft that can't be un-installed (without
rooting the phone) and I will never use. This could be fixed by Samsung/Google/The

rubbish if u get a phone call while browsing the internet it takes you
back to the home page when going back into it needing to search for
the site.again. Games are slow and buggy. 1 good thing the camera is
ok but this is a phone that is extremely slow i strongly recommend staying
clear of this brick. Rubbish battery. Doesn't let me text now and then
even though keyboard up just doesn't input anything. Saving pictures
from the web is a hassle ware i save 1 pic need.to end.task re search
to save another and saving 1after the other doesn't work

The samsung galaxy ace is a really amazing purchase, when rivalled by
companies such as HTC this phone really has a hard time standing out,
but when I used it I couldn't put it down for days! It can easily cope
with high-resolution games such as PES 2012 and brothers in arms, meaning
that it is what we've come to expect from the Samsung android range.
This phone plus the remarkable personalization aspects of android really
makes this phone stand out to me as the best budget android phone on
the market at this time and it can be unique to every person likes and
dislikes. Simply Excellent.
