Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 I8160 preview: First look

24 April 2012
The original Samsung Galaxy Ace is now an entry level device at best, pushed down the ranks by the weight of two sequels. The Galaxy Ace 2 is next in line and we're talking a proper mid-range device. This dual-core smartphone...

      There used to be a time when samsung mobiles used to be famous for their looks. Gone are those days. Hardy sets no doubt about that. But looks are so boring. And processor why 800 why not 1 GHz. Bit of a game spoiler. Otherwise great.

            I think the Xperia sola will be a better option than this (maybe it will be a bit more expensive since it is 'Sony')

              Default settings are good, and to enable internet just Data Enabler Widget will be enough.
              But you have to take note that, if someone haven't bought internet data packet then additional costs will be used during downloading mms and they shouldn't if samsung/LG phones worked like non-android phones.
              I don't know how ZTE, Sony, and phones from other developers behave.

                Tad better than Samsung Galaxy W I8150. Better RAM & Internal Storage as well as core processor. Just wondering about the price though. If it is priced the same as Galaxy Wonder, go for it. There's a big chance that it will be updated to ICS considering the increased RAM (768MB).

You can get around it: you need to add mms apn and then download apn on/off widget (one of them). For more details google it. I had the sam problem and I've fixed it like this.

                                What about benchmarks? How much of an upgrade is this as compared to the Ace plus / Ace / Original Galaxy S in regards to pure benchmark?

                                        In your reviews of android phones you should check and mention about mms behaviour.
                                        I'll explain what I mean.
                                        In all other OS'es (symbian, bada, s40, s60) mms are downloading automatically. But most of the android phones is downloading MMS only if the data connection is enabled.
                                        When it's turned off we wouldn't download MMS.
                                        It's a flaw if someone doesn't use data (gprs/edge/3g) constantly. Or when WIFI is used we have to turn wifi off and turn on data to download MMS.
                                        For now only HTC behaves correctly and doesn't need data connection to be constantly turned on - it downloads MMS automatically and turns on data connection for a few secs.
                                        In samsung, or LG models which i have tested it wasn't happened automatically.
