All models in the Galaxy Family will have the TouchWiz v3.0 UI and the Swype text input method we first saw with the flagship Samsung Galaxy S. The Galaxy Ace and Galaxy Mini are now available in stores while the Galaxy Fit will come out by first week of March.
CONS:
A big turn down for the ace is its design that resembles alot like iphone…and for some reason it lags a bit and the battery life is not that good, its only good for a day….
PROS:
Pretty decent phone for a 16k…
I just bought a galaxy mini and so far the only thing i dont like about it is that the battery life is too short. I just find that a bit disturbing that i cant do much unless i bring my charger with me which is a big hassle. Any advice? I’m starring to think of going back to where i bought and have it check.
I’m considering to buy an ace this week. I agree with porkchop, it does look a bit too much like iphone. Any other samsung ace users out there who can tell me if it’s worth it? Oh, it only costs 13990 right now til the 17th because of the samsung sale. It’s the same as the online store prices. It’s the same in most stores here in Baguio, too.
Another question, considering the price is the same almost everywhere I look, would it be better if I get it from the samsung concept store? In terms of warranty and such, after sales service, etc.
Thanks.

Dati may Samsung Corby ako (my first samsung phone) and so far satisfied naman ako. Kaya naman im fan ng samsung.
Now I have this Galaxy Ace for two months na and this is is my first android phone. Actually , first choice kong bilhin yung Galaxy S. Pero i choose galaxy ace instead, kasi almost same lang ang function nito sa ibang mga high end phones and somehow mas ok pa nga ito eh. Considering its price, perfect ito sa lahat ng mga newbie sa android. I have several good points with this GALAXY ACE.
—800mhz is fast enough unlike Optimus One with 600mhz.
—3.7 inch screen is enough for browsing, viewing, and tapping for keyboard.
—full android experience is superbb! And its since android siya, you can customize the UI (user interface) using app launcher. Replace stock app (messaging, music and video player – im using moboplayer which plays almost all formats, like flv, wmv, avi and poweramp as music player).
—Camera is fine with 5MP same sa mga high end phones. Picture taking and video recording (720p is definitely fine) are really great lalo na at may LED flash pa siya sa likod.
—balita ko may update na ito for Android 2.3 aka gingerbread. which is definitely great for ace in recording video.
—with GORILLA GLASS DISPLAY, scratch proof ang screen…fortunately wala pa naman gasgas ang phone ko, no need to buy screen protector,,,
—i searched htc high end phones, like desire, incredible s, dhd, desire s. They are great in their respective specs, pero may mga cons and pros pa rin. At the end of the day, galaxy ace pa rin ako…but still hoping to get htc in the future.
ang downside lang ng GALAXY ACE,
—battery life, good for one day in average use, (anyway ganun din naman sa lahat ng android smart phone maliban siguro sa iphone4)
share ko lang po mg sir and ma’am….
Thanks for the specification and your reviews about samsung ace. Same with you first choice ko yung samsung s. I’m thinking to buy it pagkasweldo ko. hehehe here in davao at abreeza sa samsung stall nila..it’s already 10k++.
Just a few corrections on the spec you put there, since it might mislead other people.
1) The Galaxy Ace has a 3.5 inch HVGA screen, not 3.7 inches.
2) It does not record videos in 720p HD, but a measly QVGA resolution (which isn’t such a big deal for me).
3) The gingerbread update will not enhance the video recording capability of the Galaxy Ace since it is a hardware, not software, limitation.
4) Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof…it’s only scratch resistant.
get the Samsung galaxy ace, i have it for 5 mos. and i love it.
but there’s a little issue when im playing a music , for some what reason it pause randomly…i dunno whats the problem

I had the ace for three months now. working nicely i should say.some problems thoug would be the battery life(expected na siguro sa dami ng background apps na gumagana). just turn off all syncs and background data, keep brightness at a minimum, turn off gps when not in use to extend battery life. music and radio pauses in a while. too bad sammy’s taking a while to release the official gingerbread update for the galaxy family
gingerbread update now available thru kies here in the philippines.

I really want that Samsung Galaxy Ace. But I think mas ok yung fit because of its girly style (sabi ng iba girly style daw) same lang ba ang features ng Ace at Fit?

It’s perfect time for it to develop plans in the future and it’s time for them to be pleased. I have read this post if I could I wish to suggest you some intriguing issues or advice. Maybe you can write next articles discussing this information. I desire to read more reasons for having it!
