This Phone is Ace!
Review with images
04/10/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Versatile phone offering a responsive screen, excellent sound quality, good internet browsing
Disadvantages Battery life, clunky Kies software

A few months ago I decided to buy my daughter a new mobile phone. She had been using the Samsung Jet but her love of Twitter revealed the Jet to be lacking somewhat when it came to surfing the internet. My daughter rarely uses her phone to make calls, preferring to text or surf the web with it. It therefore made sense to get her a 3G phone so internet surfing was easier. There were other issues with the Jet, including a touchscreen which was notoriously non-responsive and a memory card slot which wasn't particularly reliable, constantly knocking the card out of place. Last year I got a Samsung ... more

Samsung Galaxy Not So Ace!
Review with images
20/01/2013

Advantages Works for calls & texts. Wifi. Looks good.
Disadvantages Crashes. Small internal memory.

Samsung Galaxy Ace GT5830 Back in August 2012 my old phone decided it was time for us to go our separate ways and died on me. The phone in question was my Samsung Tocco Lite, I had had the phone for around 2 and a half years and up until the day the touch screen stopped working I had had no problems and because of this I decided to have a Samsung phone again. As my phone broke two days before I was due to fly home to Birmingham for my mums wedding I decided to wait and buy one while I was back over as at least I would be able to ask any questions and read any information I needed to know ... more

The Galaxy Ace - Great For Saving Face & Making Calls! 10/12/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to use, compact enough size as a smart phone, good quality & features, keen prices.
Disadvantages Can be slow, constant WIFI reminder & battery life.

“You can’t be serious,” my friend said as we sat about at a table at Starbucks a couple of weeks ago, “it doesn’t take half an hour to load up the internet on your phone, surely!” she said, patronizingly. “It does, and don’t call me Shirley,” I replied, jokingly. Seriously though. Such is the life of a traditional Nokia 1100 user. I’ve had my Pay as you Go (PAYG) 1100 now for a good couple of years and it was bought to replace an equally older, blockier “brick” Nokia that had been dropped, kicked, largely abused and only required a replacement front fascia cover that cost something as ... more

Yes, it is ACE!! 17/05/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to use, does lots
Disadvantages Headphones

When it came to changing my contract and phone last year, I had no idea what I wanted. This was going to be the first time I would have an android phone so I knew that I wanted something easy to use and as silly as this may sound, I had acrylic nails at the time so I needed something easy to text with. After a sales woman let me play with quite a few different phones, I went with the Samsung Galaxy Ace, which seemed to do everything that I wanted. As I am on a contract, I didn’t buy the phone outright but it does cost me £35 a month which includes 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited ... more

Less calories than the chocolate bar and a lot more useful 07/11/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to use, great features, lots of apps on offer, great battery life and low cost unit
Disadvantages can lag at times, low internal memory and maybe not that in vogue at the moment.

I’ve used quite a few mobile phones over the years, starting with those ones that were the size of a house brick and you had to carry the battery around with you in a rucksack, or in a side car. So it’s nice to see that these mobile phones are not only getting smaller but are getting much more like personal computers, helping me in my daily life with such things as note taking, date setting and more. One particular phone that I have used for a while, and sometimes still do use when I need to as I technically own it as I finished paying for it once I’d paid the contract that I was in, is from a ... more

A Smartphone Smooth Like Galaxy Caramel 18/01/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages User friendly, responsive & good size touch screen, lots of features, smooth to run
Disadvantages Poor battery life when using apps

I wanted to upgrade my phone last month and I was shocked, though I don't really know why, at how quickly phones seem to go outdated and are replaced by their 'newer version'. There are so many to choose from, and numerous tariffs you get hassled in to signing up to, that it's hard to decide unless you have a good idea of what it is you want. I knew a few improvements I wanted to see to my old phone, the Orange / ZTE San Fran, and the Samsung Galaxy Ace far exceeded my expectations, so I'm really happy with it. Samsung as a whole is a well-renowned company and one which I tend to admire and ... more

Purple Galaxy 08/11/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Attractive, easy to use, no upfront cost on contract, purple
Disadvantages Problems hanging up calls, camera resolution, music player

In December last year, I was finally due an upgrade on my mobile phone. Having known this was coming, I had been excited for a couple of months about getting a new phone - I liked the Sony Ericsson that I had, but since my partner had got an iPhone, I had been wanting a smartphone. My first choice was an iPhone, but it was out of my price range - I couldn't afford the upfront cost, and I didn't need one of the higher priced contracts which would include the phone free. So, I headed off to the O2 shop planning to get myself a smartphone which would be included in the cost of my contract. Having ... more

The best phone for the price, let down only by hardware restrictions 13/05/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Yet to drop connection, runs Android, pretty cheap, nice screen
Disadvantages Built in 'Touchwiz' theme causes phone to be slow, only 256mb RAM

The Galaxy Ace is a smartphone by Samsung, it features an 800MHz processor and the price without contract clocks in around the £220 region. The Performance of the Phone The Samsung Galaxy Ace has an 800MHz single core processor, which is a little bit tame considering a lot of the higher end phones actually have dual and quad cores as of recent. The phone also has 256MB of RAM, which again may be considered tame by the hierarchy of extortionately expensive communication devices, but you never really see any disadvantges of this when using the phone. Using the default 'launcher' (basically ... more

A great priced phone, with a decent camera! 16/06/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages It calls and texts! Decent camera, great price.
Disadvantages A bit slow compared to other smartphones, case damages easily.

I had this phone recently for about 3 weeks, and although it is a great phone for the price, if you are a phone fanatic and enjoy the luxuries of a fast phone with a great camera and a slick feel, then this probably isn’t the one for you. To cut it short, the camera is decent when comparing it to other phones at the same price range, but the screen was too small for me, and I thought the phone itself was quite slow, as I only had it for three weeks and although my instant impression of the phone was good, I became quite disappointed with it. If you are used to having a fast, decent phone then ... more

Good Cheaper End Smartphone 05/02/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Does what it is supposed to do, easy to get used to
Disadvantages Battery runs out quicker when on the internet

My youngest daughter and my Other Half both had new phones over Christmas and they both got Samsung Galaxy Aces. I am always using their phones for one thing or another so I reckon I am able to give a good review of what they are like. The phones are really nice looking, a bit like my Galaxy Y but a bit bigger all round. The phone comes with an extra back so you can change the appearance of the phone. My daughter changed her back to the white colour with black on the front where as my Other Half kept his black all over. The screen on this phone is 3.5 inches and looks really nice. It is very ... more
