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

Bought my samsung galaxy ace 5830 a year ago. Just slightly a few days after
the warranty period the screen went blank. Sent it for checking .Was told that
it wasn't the LED fault but it was the faulty hardware ...something like the
IC. Was told that it is beyond repair. Kind of disappointed cos was so unlucky
to buy a faulty set. I took very good care of it not letting it to fall etc
yet the set has failed me. Very disapointed with samsung . Need to look for
other brands for my next phone.

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

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.

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

Reviewed by Alan Burgess from scotland on 2nd Sep 2012
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.

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

I have really tried to like it but it just lacks so many features. Lots of apps
but quite a few say 'this is not compatable with your device'!! Grrr! After
being out for the day and taking lots of photos I went into a cafe with free
wifi. Seen I had an update for Facebook but the phone said I didn't have enough

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 also freezes

the touch is unrecognised on the first few attempts (not 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 future, or is
it a case of bad luck for one and a bad design in the galaxy Ace?

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.

its true the internet connection over 3g can be patchy at times but this can

the ram can't handle too many windows simultaneously. I use a single window

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

I am having the exact same problem with the phone! Bought th phone 7 days ago
from an O2 shop, Since then i have had a new SD card which 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 really like this phone apart from the obvious!

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.
Reviewed by pfgpowell from Great Britain on 18th Apr 2012
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, big mistake. :o(

a spare battery (unlike some more expensive phones)
2) The small internal memory. Unfortunately some apps need to be in internal

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 operator.
